General ⇒ Database and latex

[metric]

Hi,

I require to prepare question papers, is there any way by which i can store all question in a database (say 100 questions) and then choose question form them (say 10 question choose)

Once i choose the question a latex file of that question will be created , so that i compile i and get my question paper ready.

I'll store all question in latex language ( a majority of them are mathematic qustns).

Please let me know if there is any mean to do this.

Thanks,
metric

Maybe you should take a look at the ktv-texdata package (it is in the MiKTeX distribution). Here's an address on CTAN:

I do not know any other packages that allow you to extract parts of documents in the way ktv-texdata does.

However, maybe we could help you if you tell us your problems when using that package .
