Announcement text given by the contribution's author:
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
SQLTeX is a well documented preprocessor to enable the use of SQL statements
in LaTeX . It is a perl script that reads an input file containing the LaTeX
source with 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. When an SQL
command returns multiple fields and or rows, the values can only be used for
substitution in the document.
This is v1.4 of SQLTeX. New in this version is the option to replace values
in the database results using configurable replace files; e.g., if the
database value contains a percent sign (`%'), SQLTeX automatically replaces
it by an escaped percent sign (`\%').
This version only supports MySQL databases. It has been tested on Linux, but
should work an all platforms where Perl is installed.

SQLTeX – An SQL Preprocessor for LaTeX
SQLTeX is a preprocessor that enables the use of SQL statements in LaTeX. The SQLTeX perl script reads an input file containing the LaTeX source with SQL commands, and writes a LaTeX file in which the SQL commands have been replaced by the values from their execution. It is possible to select a field for substitution in your LaTeX document, or to be used as input in another SQL command. (When an SQL command returns multiple fields and/or rows, the values can only be used within the document.)
The default is to use MySQL databases, but Pg, Sybase, Oracle, Ingres, mSQL and PostgreSQL are also supported.
