                       SQL::Translator README
 
-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),
-XML, and Class::DBI classes.  The main focus of SQL::Translator is
-SQL, but parsers exist for other structured data formats, including
-Excel spreadsheets and arbitrarily delimited text files.  Through the
-separation of the code into parsers and producers with an object model
-in between, it's possible to combine any parser with any producer, to
-plug in custom parsers or producers, or to manipulate the parsed data
-via the built-in object model.  Presently only the definition parts of
-SQL are handled (CREATE, ALTER), not the manipulation of data (INSERT,
-UPDATE, DELETE).
+SQL::Translator is a group of Perl modules that manipulate structure
+data definitions (mostly database schemas) in interesting ways, such
+as converting among different dialects of CREATE syntax (e.g.,
+MySQL-to-Oracle), visualizations of schemas (pseudo-ER diagrams
+GraphViz or GD), automatic code generation (using Class::DBI),
+converting non-RDBMS files to SQL schemas (xSV text files, Excel
+spreadsheets), serializing parsed schemas (via Storable, YAML and
+XML), creating documentation (HTML and POD), and more.  New to version
+0.03 is the ability to talk directly to a database through DBI to
+query for the structures of several databases.
