thank you David, i did something like that: rows <- query_ conn "SELECT Nom,distance FROM AngularDistance WHERE distance > 0.000278" forM_ rows $ \(name,distance) -> putStrLn $ Text.unpack name ++ " " ++ show (distance :: Double) output: ... HJ 2900 3.333333333882682e-2 HJ 3340 1.6666666646205367e-2 HLD 73 1.666666666807325e-2 HLD 152 1.666666666807325e-2 HLD 158 1.666666666807325e-2 HO 6 0.19569724135990224 HO 15 1.666666666807325e-2 ... and it works Damien Le 03/12/2018 15:42, David McBride a écrit :

Here's how it works, every time you supply a query, you supply the parameters to the query in a tuple. Furthermore the results can be gotten back as a tuple by type hinting each value. Warning: I have not run this code, but it should be close.

query "select age, is_old from user where uid = ? and name = ? (uid :: Int, name :: String) :: IO [(Integer, Bool)]

But what happens when you want to supply a single parameter (or receive a single value?)

query "select * from user where uid = ?" (uid)

The problem with that is (uid) is not a tuple. It's just an integer in parenthesis. There in fact is no way to specify a tuple of one length. So mysql-simple (and other libraries) very often have a single type meant to be used as a single element tuple. In mysql-simple's (and postgresql-simple) case that is the (Only a) type. (Side note, I wish these were in the standard Tuple module, as this comes once in awhile).

query "select name from user where uid = ?" (Only uid) :: IO [Only String]

Remember that you can also make your own records implement the QueryParams and QueryResults classes so that you can write

here is the error:

-04.3982 is the values i want to put in a variable,it's the N° BD (Durchmusterung Number)

???

any help greatly appeciated ;-)
