Download & Install

HaskellDB is available on Hackage at http://hackage.haskell.org/package/haskelldb. You can install it using the cabal tool:

> cabal install haskelldb

It compiles with the GHC 6.12. Older versions and other compilers may or may not work.

Databases supported

HaskellDB works with the HDBC driver suite. It previously had support for the HSQL suite, but that code is no longer maintained.

Using the HDBC drivers

HaskellDB works with the 2.0 HDBC drivers. First, install HDBC and haskelldb-hdbc using cabal:

> cabal install hdbc
> cabal install haskelldb-hdbc

Then, install the driver for your particular database.

Postgres

haskelldb-hdbc-postgres can be installed with cabal:

> cabal install haskelldb-hdbc-postgresql

ODBC (MySQL, SQL Server)

haskelldb-hdbc-odbc can installed with cabal:

> cabal install haskelldb-hdbc-odbc

SqlLite

haskelldb-hdbc-sqlite3 can installed with cabal:

> cabal install haskelldb-hdbc-sqlite3

MySql

The mysql driver on hackage is not documented on this wiki. Contact the author for more information.

Using with HSQL drivers

The HSQL drivers are unmaintained and currently unsupported. Volunteers welcome!
