Create a mail template in Magento by SQL script?

Question

is it possible to create a mail template directly by running some SQL script?

Thanks!

Answer 1

If you're referring to transactional e-mails, yes

If you look in the installer scripts in

app/code/core/Mage/Sales/sql/sales_setup/mysql4-upgrade

you can find samples of SQL statements used to update existing templates.

mysql4-upgrade-0.6.2-0.7.0.php
mysql4-upgrade-0.7.2-0.7.3.php
mysql4-upgrade-0.8.3-0.8.4.php

and

app/code/core/Mage/Contacts/sql/contacts_setup/mysql14-upgrade

shows insert and update SQL statements

mysql4-install-0.7.1.php
mysql4-upgrade-0.7.1-0.7.2.php
