NAME

       SQL::Translator::Producer::Latex -
	   Produces latex formatted tables ready for import from schema.

SYNOPSIS

	 use SQL::Translator;
	 my $translator     = SQL::Translator->new(
	     from	    => 'MySQL',
	     filename	    => 'foo_schema.sql',
	     to 	    => 'Latex',
	 );
	 print $translator->translate;

DESCRIPTION

       Currently you will get one class (with the a table stereotype) generated per table in the schema. The fields are added as attributes of the
       classes and their datatypes set. It doesn't currently set any of the relationships. It doesn't do any layout, all the classses are in one
       big stack. However it is still useful as you can use the layout tools in Dia to automatically arrange them horizontally or vertically.

NAME

       SQL::Translator::Producer::TTSchema -
	   Produces output using the Template Toolkit from a SQL schema

SYNOPSIS

	 use SQL::Translator;
	 my $translator     = SQL::Translator->new(
	     from	    => 'MySQL',
	     filename	    => 'foo_schema.sql',
	     to 	    => 'TTSchema',
	     producer_args  => {
		 ttfile     => 'foo_template.tt',  # Template file to use

		 # Extra template variables
		 ttargs     => {
		     author => "Mr Foo",
		 },

		 # Template config options
		 ttargs     => {
		     INCLUDE_PATH => '/foo/templates',
		 },
	     },
	 );
	 print $translator->translate;

DESCRIPTION

       Produces schema output using a given Template Tookit template.

       It needs one additional producer_arg of "ttfile" which is the file name of the template to use.	This template will be passed a variable
       called "schema", which is the "SQL::Translator::Producer::Schema" object created by the parser. You can then use it to walk the schema via
       the methods documented in that module.

       Here's a brief example of what the template could look like:

	 database: [% schema.database %]
	 tables:
	 [% FOREACH table = schema.get_tables %]
	     [% table.name %]
	     ================
	     [% FOREACH field = table.get_fields %]
		 [% field.name %]   [% field.data_type %]([% field.size %])
	     [% END -%]
	 [% END %]

       See t/data/template/basic.tt for a more complete example.

       The template will also get the set of extra variables given as a hashref via the "tt_vars" producer arg.

       You can set any of the options used to initiallize the Template object by adding a tt_conf producer_arg. See Template Toolkit docs for
       details of the options.	(Note that the old style of passing this config directly in the producer args has been deprecated).

	 $translator	      = SQL::Translator->new(
	     to 	      => 'TT',
	     producer_args    => {
		 ttfile       => 'foo_template.tt',
		 ttargs       => {},
		 tt_conf      = {
		   INCLUDE_PATH => '/foo/templates/tt',
		   INTERPOLATE	=> 1,
		 }
	     },
	 );

       You can use this producer to create any type of text output you like, even using it to create your own versions of what the other producers
       make.  For example, you could create a template that translates the schema into MySQL's syntax, your own HTML documentation, your own
       Class::DBI classes (or some other code) -- the opportunities are limitless!

   Producer Args
       ttfile
	   The template file to generate the output with.

       tt_vars
	   A hash ref of extra variables you want to add to the template.

       tt_conf
	   A hash ref of configuration options to pass to the Template object's constructor.

TODO

       More template vars? e.g. [% tables %] as a shortcut for [% schema.get_tables %].
