NAME

Parse::Dia::SQL - Convert Dia class diagrams into SQL.

SYNOPSIS

use Parse::Dia::SQL;
my $dia = Parse::Dia::SQL->new(
  file => 't/data/TestERD.dia', 
  db   => 'db2' 
);
print $dia->get_sql();

# or command-line version

DESCRIPTION

Dia is a diagram creation program for Linux, Unix and Windows released under the GPL license.

Parse::Dia::SQL converts Dia class diagrams into SQL.

Parse::Dia::SQL is the parser that interprets the .dia file(s) into an internal datastructure.

Parse::Dia::SQL::Output (or one of its sub classes) can take the datastructure and generate SQL statements it represents.

MODELLING HOWTO

See http://tedia2sql.tigris.org/usingtedia2sql.html

DATABASE SUPPORT NOTE

The aim is to suppport the same set of databases as tedia2sql.

Adding support for additional databases

Adding support for additional databases means to create a subclass of Parse::Dia::SQL::Output.

Patches are welcome.

AUTHOR

Parse::Dia::SQL is based on tedia2sql by Tim Ellis and others. See the AUTHORS file for details.

Modified by Andreas Faafeng, <aff at cpan.org> for release on CPAN.
