[Haskell-beginners] Sqlite3 - INSERT statement question

3 Feb 2011

      Good morning,

I'm using "Real World Haskell" and a Windows Vista PC and I have Sqlite3 installed...[note: I had to change test1.db to /users/user/test1.db in order to get this to work, otherwise, neither the database nor the table could be created -- also, note c:/users/user/test1.db gives a syntax error], ghci doesn't like c:/]:

I tried to use the following example from the book but it failed...see following:

Prelude> :m Database.HDBC Database.HDBC.Sqlite3
Prelude Database.HDBC Database.HDBC.Sqlite3> conn <- connectSqlite3 "/users/user/test1.db"
...
Prelude Database.HDBC Database.HDBC.Sqlite3> run conn "INSERT INTO test VALUES (?, ?)" [toSql 0, toSql "zero"]

<interactive>:1:43:
    No instance for (Data.Convertible.Base.Convertible t SqlValue)
      arising from a use of `toSql' at <interactive>:1:43-49
    Possible fix:
      add an instance declaration for
      (Data.Convertible.Base.Convertible t SqlValue)
    In the expression: toSql 0
    In the third argument of `run', namely `[toSql 0, toSql "zero"]'
    In the expression:
        run conn "INSERT INTO test VALUES (?, ?)" [toSql 0, toSql "zero"]

I'd appreciate any advice...
