People may be interested by a program I made for the same kind of purpose: tsql (https://github.com/pjfichet/tsql). It's a C thing which parses your troff document, processes sql statements on an sqlite databases and formats the result for either tbl or neatroff tmac.tbl. The user interface is not fixed yet, but is currently as follow: sqldb :memory: TS allbox; c c . sqltbl create table T (id integer primary key, name text); insert into T (name) values ('Pierre'), ('Paul'), ('Jacques'); select * from T; sqlend TE Cheers, Pierre-Jean.
