The main focus of SQL::Translator is SQL, but parsers +exist for other structured data formats, including Excel spreadsheets +and arbitrarily delimited text files. Through the separation of +the code into parsers and producers with an object model in between, +it's possible to combine any parser with any producer, to plug in +custom parsers or producers, or to manipulate the parsed data via +the built-in object model. Presently only the definition parts of +SQL are handled (CREATE, ALTER), not the manipulation of data +(INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE). |
