Overview
SQLTEX is a preprocessor to enable the use of SQL statements in LATEX . It is a perl script that reads an input file containing the SQL commands, and writes a LATEX file that can be processed with your LATEX package.
The SQL commands will be replaced by their values. It's possible to select a single field for substitution substitution in your LATEX document, or to be used as input in another SQL command.
All popular databases engines are supported. It has been tested in Linux, but should work on other operating systems as well.
For more information, please refer to the online documentation.
