Re: [Haskell-cafe] haskell -> db, on Solaris

Thanks, all. I forgot, that Takusen uses OCI, not ODBC, sorry. I'm getting it now. |'ve looked more closely at HSQL, also. Indeed, it uses native interfaces, as Alistair pointed out. And since it supports both Oracle and MySql, I think it will be my first try. Typeful queries are not important to me. But having one library instead of 2 distinct ones is appealing. And avoiding depending on a separate unixODBC is also good. 2007/7/12, Bryan O'Sullivan :

Yes, thanks. But the emphasis was on Solaris. I don't quite understand what is the common way to access databases on Solaris. Is it odbc?

ODBC is a standard, fairly portable database interface. Since HDBC has ODBC bindings, it can in principle talk to any database that provides an ODBC interface.
