Hello, haskellers.
I has made some rework of HDBC,
So, why did I made this ? Because I did not found good enough (inside and outside) common interface
for database connectivity. What I mean is flexible and simple interface, supporting arbitrary precision values
and providing convenient and minimalistic interface for just query execution.
In ''roadmap'' in the documentation you can see, that I think, that Haskell must have such interface which must
become the conveient base for other high-level interfaces, such as Persistent and HaskellDB. Other languages, like
Python goes this way, so why we must not ?
I dont know will this patches accepted to main HDBC repository or not. I will fork HDBC under another name
if necessary.
The patches are:
There is just PostgreSQL driver for now, but I plan to write some other drivers as well.
Any help and pull requests are welcome.
My question is: what do you think about all of this? Do you think this is good idea or this is not necessary
for now? I just want to notify the community about this and maybe find support.
Discuss.
