Try http://sites.google.com/site/haskell/notes/connecting-to-mysql-with-haskell
that I wrote up. An important thing that I don't think was documented
anywhere is that the trailing ';' is required.

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
