<h1>SQL Insert Script Generation Features</h1>
<h2>Supported databases</h2>
<p>Every database that is part of the datatools project can be used. All you have to do is
register the database. On how to do that please refere to the
<a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Getting_Started_with_DTP">wiki</a> of the project or check
out the part one of the video tutorial on the <a href="tut_sqlcodegen.html">tutorial section</a>.
</p>
<h2>Subset of data</h2>
<p>The strength of this plug-in is that you can define a where clause to select a subset of data of a
table for that the insert script is generated. There are only simple where clauses possible (no sub-selects).
</p>
<h2>Data manipulation</h2>
<p>Through the extension point ch.sahits.codegen.sql.manipulation classes can be supplied that modify
the data before generating an insert script. The data manipulation is naturally a thing that is specific
to a table, but never the less it might be less tedious than manipulating the created script by hand
especially if the manipulations a complex or dependent on the value.
