Hi all,

I am trying to use Yesod with Mysql on Windows but cannot get the mysql package to build. 

I can see that there is an error report about this problem that hasn't been addressed for the past 11 months:

At the moment this means that the only real database on Windows is Postgres, but I can only use mysql or mssql in this project.

Since it doesn't look like this problem will be solved any time soon, can anyone think of reasonable alternatives?

So far my only thought is using an Odbc interface with a subset of the persistent functionality. 

This could additonally open up access to MS Sql Server and Oracle. 

Anyway, I'd appreciate your thoughts about this.

Thanks so much,

Grant
