sqlite-simple provides a convenient API to sqlite that performs automatic data conversion between the database and Haskell types. The API has been modeled directly after postgresql-simple which in turn borrows from mysql-simple. The library is available on hackage at http://hackage.haskell.org/package/sqlite-simple * * Notable changes since the previous announcement: - Better thought out module exports - this release makes it possible to add user-defined FromField instances (see https://github.com/nurpax/sqlite-simple/blob/master/test/UserInstances.hs) - sqlite-simple was upgraded to use the latest direct-sqlite 2.2 - As part of the release, the Snap sqlite-simple plugin snaplet-sqlite-simple was upgraded to the latest sqlite-simple. See http://hackage.haskell.org/package/snaplet-sqlite-simple * * Example usage First create a test database.. --------------- sqlite3 test.db "CREATE TABLE test (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, str text);\ INSERT INTO test (str) VALUES ('test string');" --------------- ..and access it in Haskell: --------------- import Control.Applicative import Database.SQLite.Simple import Database.SQLite.Simple.FromRow data TestField = TestField Int String deriving (Show) instance FromRow TestField where fromRow = TestField <$> field <*> field main :: IO () main = do conn <- open "test.db" execute conn "INSERT INTO test (str) VALUES (?)" (Only ("test string 2" :: String)) r <- query_ conn "SELECT * from test" :: IO [TestField] mapM_ print r close conn --------------- * * A lot of the code is directly borrowed from mysql-simple by Bryan O'Sullivan and from postgresql-simple by Leon P. Smith. Like Leon in postgresql-simple, I've borrowed code and documentation directly from both of these ancestor libraries. This package builds on top of the direct-sqlite package by Irene Knapp. Thanks to all of the above for helpful comments, features and code review. * * Bugs, feature requests? I'm happy to receive bug reports via github on: https://github.com/nurpax/sqlite-simple/issues For discussion, I recommend the database-devel mailing list: http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/database-devel Enjoy!
