+This documentation covers the API for SQL::Translator. For a more general
+discussion of how to use the modules and scripts, please see
+L<SQL::Translator::Manual>.
+
SQL::Translator is a group of Perl modules that converts
vendor-specific SQL table definitions into other formats, such as
other vendor-specific SQL, ER diagrams, documentation (POD and HTML),
SQL are handled (CREATE, ALTER), not the manipulation of data (INSERT,
UPDATE, DELETE).

Toggles whether to print comments in the output. Accepts a true or false

defined as a producer will be invoked as a function (I<not a method>)
and passed its container C<SQL::Translator> instance, which it should

+schema structure to a string. The C<SQL::Translator> instance is also useful
for informational purposes; for example, the type of the parser can be
retrieved using the C<parser_type> method, and the C<error> and
C<debug> methods can be called when needed.
There is also C<parser_type> and C<parser_args>, which perform
analogously to C<producer_type> and C<producer_args>
+=head2 filters
+
+Set or retreive the filters to run over the schema during the
+translation, before the producer creates its output. Filters are sub
+routines called, in order, with the schema object to filter as the 1st
+arg and a hash of options (passed as a list) for the rest of the args.
+They are free to do whatever they want to the schema object, which will be
+handed to any following filters, then used by the producer.
+
+Filters are set as an array, which gives the order they run in.
+Like parsers and producers, they can be defined by a module name, a
+module name relative to the SQL::Translator::Filter namespace, a module
+name and function name together or a reference to an anonymous subroutine.
+When using a module name a function called C<filter> will be invoked in
+that package to do the work.
+
+To pass args to the filter set it as an array ref with the 1st value giving
+the filter (name or sub) and the rest its args. e.g.
+
+ $tr->filters(
+ sub {
+ my $schema = shift;
+ # Do stuff to schema here!
+ },
+ DropFKeys,
+ [ "Names", table => 'lc' ],
+ [ "Foo", foo => "bar", hello => "world" ],
+ [ "Filter5" ],
+ );
+
+Although you normally set them in the constructor, which calls
+through to filters. i.e.
+
+ my $translator = SQL::Translator->new(
+ ...
+ filters => [
+ sub { ... },
+ [ "Names", table => 'lc' ],
+ ],
+ ...
+ );
+
+See F<t/36-filters.t> for more examples.
+
+Multiple set calls to filters are cumulative with new filters added to
+the end of the current list.
+
+Returns the filters as a list of array refs, the 1st value being a
+reference to the filter sub and the rest its args.

=head2 translate
-The C<translate> method calls the subroutines referenced by the
-C<parser> and C<producer> data members (described above). It accepts
-as arguments a number of things, in key => value format, including
-(potentially) a parser and a producer (they are passed directly to the
-C<parser> and C<producer> methods).
