The backslash is the escape marker, so if you want a backslash in a String,
you have to escape it (as written, it tries to interpret the escape
sequence '\u', which doesn't exist).
Try with "c:\\users\\user\\test1.db"

I think brent's reply was making fun of me and didn't have much meaning
beyond that.
If there was any part of my question you did not understand, feel free to
point out a specific part, and I'll try my best to clarify.

...just to put the 'finishing touch' on this -- Daniel Fischer pointed out how
to use the Windows back slash for this command [he pointed it out that GHCI
consider the backspace to be an escape character] - note the use of the double
back slashes:
Prelude Database.HDBC Database.HDBC.Sqlite3> conn <- connectSqlite3
"c:\\users\\user\\test1.db"
Prelude Database.HDBC Database.HDBC.Sqlite3>
Thanks Daniel...

...oh dear, guess what -- I told you a lie...ghci does except either

...this doesn't work, note the back slash...also, this will only work, that
is to create the database automatically and then subsquently create a table, if
you user the 'users' folder...if you use 'program files, etal' you will not be

...could this be the problem...in Windows Vista I cannot change the file

Platform\2010.2.0.0\winghci but can change it in c:\users\user directory...
...> ren "c:\Program Files (x86)\Haskell

Access is denied.
...but I can see the contents of this file:

hello, world!
...is it possible to specify the directory c:\users\user in ghci so that
Sqlite3 will look there to open the database and then to create a table in it?

Windows Vista
...seems like I 'kicked over another bee hive'...plenty of messages in
regard to this when you do google search--->[sqlite3.operational error unable
to open database file in windows vista]
...i'm getting the following error messages when I try to create a
database in Sqlite3:
*Sandbox> dbh <- connect "poddbtest.db"
*** Exception: SqlError {seState = "", seNativeError = 21, seErrorMsg =
"prepare 6: BEGIN: unable to open database file"}
*Sandbox> dbh <- connect "test1.db"
*** Exception: SqlError {seState = "", seNativeError = 1, seErrorMsg =
"step: SQL logic error or missing database"}
Both come from Chapters 21 and 22 in "Real World Haskell"
I can't invoke Sqlite3 from the command line using---> Sqlite3
myDatabase.db...
I created blank files in folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Haskell
Platform\2010.2.0.0\winghci -- seemed to get me a bit further along...at least
I was able to connect...
Is it possible to specify the folder that the database should be
created in?
Is it possible to run Sqlite3 from the command line - when it has been
installed using the Haskell wiki?
Has anyone had better success with MySql - I've used it in the past and
it was very reliable?
Thank you
