For backends supporting slave operation there is also an option to keep slave
zones as slaves, and not convert them to native operation.
-**zone2sql** can generate SQL for the Generic MySQL, Generic PostgreSQL and
-Oracle backends.
+**zone2sql** can generate SQL for the Generic MySQL, Generic PostgreSQL, Generic
+SQLite3 and Generic Oracle backends.
# OPTIONS
## INPUT OPTIONS
: When parsing a single zone without $ORIGIN statement, set *ZONE* as the zone
name.
-## OUTPUT OPTIONS
+## BACKENDS
--gmysql
: Output in format suitable for the default configuration of the Generic MySQL
backend.
: Output in format suitable for the default configuration of the Generic
PostgreSQL backend.
---oracle
+--gsqlite
+: Output in format suitable for the default configuration of the Generic
+ SQLite3 backend.
+
+--goracle
: Output in format suitable for the default configuration of the Generic Oracle
backend.
+--mydns
+: Output in a format suitable for the MyDNS backend.
+
+--oracle
+: Output in format suitable for the default configuration of the Oracle backend.
+
+## OUTPUT OPTIONS
+--json-comments
+: Parse JSON in zonefile comments to set the 'disabled' and 'comment' fields
+ in the database. See *JSON COMMENTS* for more information.
+
--transactions
-: For Oracle and PostgreSQL output, wrap each domain in a transaction for higher
- speed and integrity.
+: If the target SQL backend supports transactions, wrap every domain into
+ a transaction for integrity and possibly higher speed.
## 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.
+--filter-duplicate-soa
+: If there's more than one SOA record in the zone (possibly because it was
+ AXFR'd), ignore it. If this option is not set, all SOA records in the zone
+ are emitted.
--help
: List all options
+--on-error-resume-next
+: Ignore missing zone files during parsing. Dangerous.
+
+--slave
+: Maintain slave status of zones listed in named.conf as being slaves. The
+ default behaviour is to convert all zones to native operation.
+
--verbose
: Be verbose during conversion.
+# JSON COMMENTS
+The Generic SQL backends have the 'comment' and 'disabled' fields in the 'records'
+table. The 'comment' field contains a comment for this record (if any) and the
+'disabled' field tells PowerDNS if the record can be served to clients.
+
+When a zonefile contains a comment like `; json={"comment": "Something", "disabled": true}`
+and **--json-comments** is provided, the 'comment' field will contain "Something"
+and the 'disabled' field will be set to the database's native true value.
+
+WARNING: Using JSON comments to disable records means that the zone in PowerDNS
+is different from the one served by BIND, as BIND does not handle the disabled
+status in the comment.
