Dear Haskellers I am pleased to announce HSQL 1.0. The package is intended to give access to PostgresSQL, MySQL and ODBC databases. The HSQL is a part of HToolkit project but like GIO and Port it can be distributed as separate bundle. This is the first public release but as far as I know the package is already used in some other projects. I make this release with hope to makes HSQL more useful and more user friendly for other people working in Haskell. What is new? - The HSQL is separated from GUI part of the old HToolkit package. - Improved configure/make build system - the getSqlValue function from SqlBind type class is renamed to fromSqlValue. In SqlBind is defined new function - toSqlValue. The new function converts a Haskell value to its equivalent string representation in SQL syntax. - Improved support for geometric and network types for PostgreSQL. - Some bugfixes How to build? $ ./configure --enable-<backend> $ make $ make install where <backend> is one of: - mysql - postgres - odbc It is possible to build library with more than one backend. Just type: $ ./configure --enable-postgres --enable-odbc --enable-mysql Cheers Krasimir __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
