[Haskell-cafe] can someone point me to more help about Database.HDBC.ODBC?

I'm trying to use Database.HDBC.ODBC to connect to a MySQL server, and I cannot figure out the docs. I want to establish a connection, and I know the server url, username, and password. According to these docs... http://software.complete.org/static/hdbc-odbc/doc//HDBC-odbc/Database-HDBC-O... ...I am supposed to pass a string to connectODBC. These docs do not explain the meaning of the passed string, but refer me to a microsoft document: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms715433(VS.85).aspx I cannot make any sense of this microsoft document. I guess I don't know enough about database interfaces in general. Can someone explain how to make a connect to a specific URL, or point me to some clearer docs? Thanks, Mike
