Hi,

I can't say anything about HSQL, but I use HDBC and I'm happy with it. [1] says it's the most popular database for Haskell.
Best, Daniel

Hi.

I am using hsql-(mysql-)1.8.2
When compiled with ghc-7.6, the resulting executable
does not seem to be able to read strings from the DB correctly
(umlauts do "vanish")
while it  worked with hsql-(mysql-)1.8.1 and ghc-7.4.

the mysql server says (show variables)

| character_set_client            | latin1                      |
| character_set_connection        | latin1                      |
| character_set_database          | latin1                      |
| character_set_filesystem        | binary                      |
| character_set_results           | latin1                      |
| character_set_server            | latin1                      |
| character_set_system            | utf8                        |

hsql is using type String all over the place,
while it should be ByteString?

Internally, Database.HSQL.Types.SqlBind
uses Foreign.C.String.peekCStringLen .
Did the behaviour of this function change?

hsql is quite old, but so is my application.
Assuming I find the time to rewrite my code (not likely) -
what DB binding should I rather be using?

Thanks - J.W.
