Dia2SQL is a Perl script that takes a Dia diagram in EPS form and creates
an SQL file from it (I think?). The plug-in is written in C and reads the
native Dia diagram data structures. Long-term I'd like to do an SQL import
filter too, and have the export filter map UML to the non-portable SQL
dialects of different RDBMSs.
I have not used Dia2SQL yet, but I would imagine that right now,
functionally, there's not that much difference.
