Just curious, why this particular specific combination? GTK has nothing to do with databases. Wouldn't it work just as well to find two separate examples, one of working with a database and one of using GTK?
Examples of HDBC in 'Real World Haskell' and Gtk2Hs tutorials are sufficient, but database application with GUI it's different story. It's all about model/view/controller. Gtk/Gtk2Hs approach is like this (using model/view): get data from database and then duplicate them in the model (Gtk calls the model 'store'). This is unacceptable in real world application. There is a way, I can create my own custom model (and implement all this myself). This is the way to go, but unfortunately there is lack of examples. Modev/view/controller (TreeView/ListStore/TreeStore) provided by Gtk is useless in database context (unless one implements all missing functionalities with custom store). Emanuel
