SYNOPSISsqlw_mail--help | --manpage | --version
sqlw_mail--database database_file ( --email_col column |
--email_address address ) [ --limit number ] [ --mailer string ] {
--not_where colname=1 } [ --page number ] [ --row_template template ] {
--show colname } { --sort_by colname } { --sort_reversed colname=1 } [
--subject string ] --table table { --where colname=string }
DESCRIPTION
This sends emails; one email for each matching row from the given table
in the given database.
OPTIONS--email_address
An array of email addresses to send the email to. If this is
given, this will send an email for each matching row, to each
address in the array. Useful for broadcast mailing.
Give either this option or the 'email_col' option.
--email_col
The name of the column to take email addresses from. If this is
given, then each row is sent to the email address value in that
column for that row. Useful for individual notification.
Give either this option or the 'email_address' option.
--database
The name of the database file to use. (required)
--help
Print help message and exit.
--index_template
Similar to the report_template, but this is used for the index-
pages in multi-page and split reports. It has the same format, but
it can be useful to have them as two separate templates as one may
wish to change the way the title is treated for indexes versus
actual reports.
--limit
The maximum number of rows to display per page. If this is zero,
then all rows are displayed in one page.
--manpage
Print the full help documentation (manual page) and exit.
--not_where
A hash containing the column names where the selection criteria in
where should be negated.
--page
Select which page to generate, if limit is not zero.
--row_template
The template for each row. This uses the same format as for
headers. If none is given, then a default row_template will be
generated, depending on which columns are going to be shown (see
show).
The format is as follows:
{$colname}
A variable; will display the value of the column, or nothing if
that value is empty.
{?colname stuff [$colname] more stuff}
A conditional. If the value of 'colname' is not empty, this
will display "stuff value-of-column more stuff"; otherwise it
displays nothing.
{?col1 stuff [$col1] thing [$col2]}
This would use both the values of col1 and col2 if col1 is not
empty.
{?colname stuff [$colname] more stuff!!other stuff}
A conditional with "else". If the value of 'colname' is not
empty, this will display "stuff value-of-column more stuff";
otherwise it displays "other stuff".
This version can likewise use multiple columns in its display
parts.
{?col1 stuff [$col1] thing [$col2]!![$col3]}
--show
An array of columns to select; also the order in which they should
be shown when a row_template has not been given. If this option is
not used, all columns in the table will be shown.
--sort_by
An array of column names by which the result should be sorted.
(Repeat the argument for each new value)
--sort_reversed
A hash of column names where the sorting given in sort_by should be
reversed.
--subject
A template (as for row_template) of the Subject: line of the
emails.
--table
The table to report on. (required)
--verbose
Print informational messages.
--version
Print version information and exit.
--where
A hash containing selection criteria. The keys are the column
names and the values are strings suitable for using in a LIKE
condition; that is, '%' is a multi-character wildcard, and '_' is a
single-character wildcard. All the conditions will be ANDed
together.
Yes, this is limited and doesn't use the full power of SQL, but
it's useful enough for most purposes.
