NAME

       zone2sql - Convert ISC Bind zones to SQL

SYNOPSIS

       zone2sql [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

       Zone2sql parses Bind named.conf files and zonefiles and outputs SQL on standard out, which can then be fed to your database.

       zone2sql understands the Bind master file extension '$GENERATE' and will also honour '$ORIGIN' and '$TTL'.

       For backends supporting slave operation (currently only the PostgreSQL backend), there is also an option to keep slave zones as slaves, and
       not convert them to native operation.

       By default, zone2sql outputs code suitable for the mysqlbackend, but it can also generate SQL for the Generic PostgreSQL and  Oracle  back-
       ends.

OPTIONS

       Input options:

       --named-conf=<filename>
	      Read <filename> to get the bind configuration

       --zone=<zone-file>
	      Parse only this zone file. Conflicts with --named-conf parameter.

       --zone-name=<name>
	      When parsing a single zone without $ORIGIN statement, set this as the zone name.

       Output options:

       --bare Output in a bare format, suitable for further parsing. The output is formatted as follows:
	      domain_id<TAB>'qname'<TAB>'qtype'<TAB>'content'<TAB>prio<TAB>ttl

       --gmysql
	      Output in format suitable for the default configuration of the Generic MySQL backend.

       --gpgsql
	      Output in format suitable for the default configuration of the Generic PostgreSQL backend.

       --mysql
	      Output in format suitable for the default configuration of the MySQL backend (the default output format).

       --oracle
	      Output in format suitable for the default configuration of the Generic Oracle backend.

       --transactions
	      For Oracle and PostgreSQL output, wrap each domain in a transaction for higher speed and integrity.

       Other options:

       --slave
	      Maintain	slave status of zones listed in named.conf as being slaves. The default behaviour is to convert all zones to native opera-
	      tion.

       --on-error-resume-next
	      Ignore missing files during parsing. Dangerous.

       --help List all options

       --verbose
	      Be verbose during conversion.
