htmSQL Input Files

In order for htmSQL to create your Web page, you must first provide htmSQL with an input file. This file contains the HTML and SQL that you want processed.

When someone wants to access your Web page, they pass a URL that contains the name and location of the input file to htmSQL. The URL can also contain information used to resolve variable references that are in the input file.

If you are new to htmSQL, you can follow the link at the bottom of this page to try the sample exercise that we provide.

Everything else in the input file is written, as is, to stdout. This includes text, HTML, and newline characters.

For more information about the elements that you can use in an input file, see Syntax for htmSQL Directives. For step-by-step instructions on creating and using an htmSQL input file, see A Step-by-Step Guide to Creating an htmSQL Web Page.
