Parse::Dia::SQL3pm

Usage

    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
    perl parsediasql --file t/data/TestERD.dia --db db2

Overview

Dia is a diagram creation program for Linux, Unix and Windows released under the GNU General Public 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 the SQL statements it represents.

Modelling howto

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

Dia versions

Parse::Dia::SQL has been tested with Dia versions 0.93 - 0.97.

Parse::Dia::SQL uses the XML "version" tag information in the .dia input file to determine how each XML construct is formatted. Future versions of Dia may change the internal format, and XML "version" tag is used to detect such changes.

Database support

The following databases are supported:

DB2

Informix

Ingres

Oracle

Postgres

Sas

SQLite3

SQLite3fk (with foreign key support)

Sybase

MySQL InnoDB

MySQL MyISAM

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

Patches are welcome.
