Re: [Haskell] ANN: HDBC (Haskell Database Connectivity)

Hi,

I'm pleased to announce the first alpha release (I could call it a "developer's preview", but then I don't wear a suit) of HDBC.

HDBC is the Haskell Database Connectivity library. It is patterned after Perl's DBI. I wrote it from scratch -- this is not a reimplementation of HSQL -- because several design decisions in HSQL have been causing me trouble.

Hi John Goerzen, I wonder which design decisions are causing you troubles. Could you explain this? All features which you mentioned can be added easily to HSQL as well. It is better to share the effort on single library rather than to have multiple similar libraries. I am willing to work on HSQL improvement. Cheers, Krasimir
