This is a compatible rewrite of LaTeXDB by Hans-Georg Eßer in Ruby.

It is a preprocessor which performs SQL queries on a database and creates LaTeX code for the resulting rows. Ratexdb implements a few improvements, e.g. regexp postprocessing, command-line options, some protection against SQL injection, replacement of LaTeX reserved characters.

See also latexdb.
