DESCRIPTION

This script expects an xblog XML document on STDIN, selects the entries therein and stores them into a relational database. (See the distribution for the DB schema.)

Options

Following options HAVE to be provided:

--dsn=dsn-for-the-database (no default)

This specifies to which database to connect, including the table where to store the entries (see above).

--blog_uid=full-uri-of-blog (no default)

To identify different blogs (the database may contain entries from different blog sources) we need a unique identifier. Best is to use the URL for the blog.
