SYNOPSIS

zone2sql [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

Zone2sql parses Bind named.conf files and zonefiles and outputs SQL on standard out, which can then be fed to your database.

zone2sql understands the Bind master file extension '$GENERATE' and will also honour '$ORIGIN' and '$TTL'.

For backends supporting slave operation (currently only the PostgreSQL backend), there is also an option to keep slave zones as slaves, and not convert them to native operation.

By default, zone2sql outputs code suitable for the mysqlbackend, but it can also generate SQL for the Generic PostgreSQL and Oracle backends.

OPTIONS

Input options:

--named-conf=<filename>

Read <filename> to get the bind configuration

--zone=<zone-file>

Parse only this zone file. Conflicts with --named-conf parameter.

--zone-name=<name>

When parsing a single zone without $ORIGIN statement, set this as the zone name.

Output options:

--bare

Output in a bare format, suitable for further parsing. The output is formatted as follows:

domain_id<TAB>'qname'<TAB>'qtype'<TAB>'content'<TAB>prio<TAB>ttl

--gmysql

Output in format suitable for the default configuration of the Generic MySQL backend.

--gpgsql

Output in format suitable for the default configuration of the Generic PostgreSQL backend.

--mysql

Output in format suitable for the default configuration of the MySQL backend (the default output format).

--oracle

Output in format suitable for the default configuration of the Generic Oracle backend.

--transactions

For Oracle and PostgreSQL output, wrap each domain in a transaction for higher speed and integrity.

Other options:

--slave

Maintain slave status of zones listed in named.conf as being slaves. The default behaviour is to convert all zones to native operation.

--on-error-resume-next

Ignore missing files during parsing. Dangerous.

--help

List all options

--verbose

Be verbose during conversion.
