history
Project history and usage
SQL::Translator, also known historically as SQLFairy, is a Perl distribution for translating structured data definitions. MetaCPAN describes it as converting vendor-specific SQL table definitions into other formats including other SQL dialects, diagrams, documentation, XML, and Class::DBI classes.
Project history
The current GitHub repository was created in February 2011, while the module documentation and metadata preserve older CPAN-era identity and support channels. The distribution remains maintained on CPAN, with version 1.66 released in November 2024.
Adoption history
SQL::Translator belongs to the CPAN tool culture where command-line scripts and Perl modules are distributed together. The Homebrew formula exposes several executables, including `sqlt`, `sqlt-diagram`, `sqlt-diff`, `sqlt-dumper`, and `sqlt-graph`, making the CPAN distribution available to users who prefer system package managers.
How it is used
Users commonly call the `sqlt` family of commands to translate, diff, diagram, or dump database schemas, or use the Perl API by constructing a translator with parser and producer options such as MySQL input and Oracle output. The module focuses on SQL definition language such as CREATE and ALTER rather than data manipulation.
Why package nerds care
Package nerds care about SQL::Translator because it is an old, cross-dialect schema plumbing tool with many optional outputs and executables. It is the kind of utility that appears in migration scripts, documentation generation, ORM-era workflows, and distro package sets because it bridges database dialects rather than belonging to one database vendor.
Timeline
- 2011: Current GitHub repository created.
- 2015: Changelog documents fixes for SQLite, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, and Oracle quoting and parsing.
- 2019: 1.60 released after the 1.59 development series.
- 2024: 1.66 released on CPAN.
Related projects
- The official documentation names Parse::RecDescent, GD, GraphViz, Text::RecordParser, Class::DBI, and XML::Writer as related technologies. The module also includes parser and producer namespaces for multiple database dialects and output formats.
