This question is related to this question regarding typesetting a MySQL database using UTF-8 encoding with Xelatex.

I ask this in desperation as it involved printing 552 rows for my thesis! I need to get this information to my adviser this week and he is a bit old-fashion (meaning he would rather have everything on paper, not on a computer and certainly not in computer code).

System Details:

  • Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4
  • Tex Live 2012 installed with Macports
  • MySQL 5.5 Server (installed via DMG)

How can I get any of the three latexdb systems installed? (the related question above involved making it work with xelatex).

Server is running fine. I can log in and make queries.

I have a simple document:

\documentclass[a4]{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\texdbconnection{MySQL,localhost,root,password,mydatabase}
\texdbdef{##query1}{select hd,md from mytable}{##hd,##md}

\begin{document}
This is a header for the page.

\begin{tabular}{|l|l|}
\hline
Hochdeutsch & Mantakisch \\
\texdbfor{##query1}{\hline \textit{##hd} & \textbf{##md}\\}
\hline
\end{tabular}\\

\end{document}

I keep getting errors like:

latexdb database.tex Pre-Compiling database.tex (loop 1) This is XeTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.4-0.9998 (TeX Live 2012/MacPorts 2012_7) restricted \write18 enabled. entering extended mode (./database.tex LaTeX2e <2011/06/27> Babel and hyphenation patterns for english, dumylang, nohyphenation, lo aded.

Or it just hangs like this:

It seems like I am really close to getting this working.

Nlatexdb doesn't need to be installed. You just need the file nlatexdb.exe. You can copy it anywhere, e.g. into the same folder as xelatex.

For MySql and Mono, you will have to perform some more steps, as explained on this page: http://sourceforge.net/p/nlatexdb/wiki/MySQL%20and%20Mono/

Also, if the tex files are in UTF-8, you'll have to add the command line parameter "-e utf-8".
