Description: Introduction
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^
        
        sphinx-sql is a Sphinx documentation extension for building documentation from SQL source files.
        
        | * Do you live in a bottomless pit of dispair with "Living documents" in Sharepoint.
        | * Have you had to troubleshoot a problem and someone has reorganized the documentation tree in Sharepoint?
        | * Has your company let PMs loose on projects with no idea how to version documentation, so now you have copies of entire doc trees in Sharepoint?
        |
        | * Do you work on a database first development project?
        | * Do you look at auto documentation packages and cry siliently because no one cares about DB first development?
        | * Don't you wish you could maintain your project documentation with your code base, so you can check out and build the documents anytime you need them?
        
        Having found nothing in the while that could help solve the db first problem, I've written sphinx-sql.
        
        | The goal of sphinx-sql is to provide an autodoc type module for database first development.
        | With a bit of standarization of comments in the top of the sql source files, we can maintain documentation that follows the code base.
        
        This implimentation is tested against Greenplum / Postgres, those are the databases I work with on a daily basis.
        If you want to extend functionality, have a quick look at the contrib section of this document.
        
        Installation
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^
        
        Install from PyPI:
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            pip install sphinx-sql
        
        Configuration
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
        
        Configuring Sphinx
        ==================
        
        In your conf.py for Sphinx enable the extension:
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
            extensions = [
            'sphinx_sql.sphinx_sql',
            ]
        
        Configure toctree
        =================
        
        Create a new rst file (we'll call it autosql.rst) and include it in your toc-tree.
        
        .. code-block:: RST
        
           .. toctree::
           :maxdepth: 2
           :caption: Navigation:
        
           autosql
        
        Configure rst
        =============
        
        Add the directive with a relative path from your document build folder to the root of your SQL source in the autosql.rst file.
        
        .. code-block:: RST
        
            SQL Documentation
            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
        
            .. autosql::
                :sqlsource: ../../SQL
        
        Add SQL Comments
        ================
        
        | sphinx-sql recursively looks for all .sql files under the configured sqlsource path.
        | It will extract the first block comment out of each file as well as important
        | object creatation lines such as CREATE TABLE / VIEW  / FUNCTION / LANGUAGE etc.
        |
        | Comments should adhear to the following formats, otherwise the regex searches will not find the appropriate blocks
        | Pipe delimiters are used in Parameters, Dependent Objects and Change Log files to create table rows in the documents, spaces don't matter; everything else is free form text and should appear as you write it.
