NAME

mysql_to_db - convert a mysql table to fsdb format

SYNOPSIS

    mysql_to_db [options] SQL-command

DESCRIPTION

Execute the SQL command SQL-command and output the results in fsdb format.

Yes, this is a bit perverse.

Assumes it will talk to the Unix domain socket, not network.

My default, it converts NULL and all-space records to -.

OPTIONS

-U USER or <--user USER>

Specify the mysql user.

-P PASSWORD or <--password PASSWORD>

Specify the mysql password.

-D DATABASE or <--database DATABASE>

Specify the mysql database.

This module also supports the standard fsdb options:

-d

Enable debugging output.

-i or --input InputSource

Read from InputSource, typically a file name, or - for standard input, or (if in Perl) a IO::Handle, Fsdb::IO or Fsdb::BoundedQueue objects.

-o or --output OutputDestination

Write to OutputDestination, typically a file name, or - for standard output, or (if in Perl) a IO::Handle, Fsdb::IO or Fsdb::BoundedQueue objects.

--autorun or --noautorun

By default, programs process automatically, but Fsdb::Filter objects in Perl do not run until you invoke the run() method. The --(no)autorun option controls that behavior within Perl.

--help

Show help.

--man

Show full manual.
