Hey everyone, I'm figuring out how to do databases in Haskell (on OS X). So far, I've tried the following approaches: 1. hdbc. I'd like to connect to MySQL, so I need the ODBC backend. I couldn't get this to work under OS X, while I installed myodbc, which seems to be broken. 2. hsql. The packages on hackage don't compile, so I grabbed the darcs version. hqsl itself installed perfectly, but when I try to compile hsql-mysql, it does not recognize that hsql is already installed and tries to recompile. Compiling fails, so I generated a .tar.gz of hsql using cabal sdist, put it in the .cabal/packages directory in the right place, and finally, it does compile. Now hsql-mysql starts compiling, but it finally fails with: MySQL.hsc:270:0: error: ‘MYSQL_NO_DATA’ undeclared (first use in this function) MySQL.hsc:270:0: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once MySQL.hsc:270:0: error: for each function it appears in.) So what is the state of hsql? And haskelldb? Are they actively maintained? Thanks, -chris
