I don't know what pairs of strings this function needs. The API description is to unspecific:
The connect function takes some driver specific name, value pairs use to
setup the database connection, and a database action to run.
What are the specific name value pairs needed (for a connection to a mysql db )? Immanuel
Your best bet is to download the appropriate drivers - either haskelld-hdbc-mysql or haskelldb-hsql-mysql. If you get the haskelldb sources via darcs, you can also look in the test directory to see how the connections are established. In my specific case, I am using PostgreSQL and by login function looks like this: -- ^ Returns a function which can log into the database and perform operations. login :: MonadIO m => String -> Int -> String -> String -> String -> (Database -> m a) -> m a login server port user password dbname = postgresqlConnect [("host", server), ("port", show port), ("user", user), ("password", password), ("dbname", dbname)]
