Hello all, Currently I am investigating the availability of haskell to ODBC connectivity and have been excited by the possibilities. Downloading the HaskellDB package (http://haskell.cs.yale.edu/haskellDB/) and having it run was fantastic.
In the interests of continuing the work of HaskellDB, I wish to have this system work under Linux. Before attempting to extend HaskellDB to support ODBC (and work through unixODBC - http://www.unixodbc.org) I wish to ensure that my efforts are not misdirected. My questions include: Is HaskellDB dead? Is it worth extending? (I very much wish to keep the type safety HaskellDB has). Is HaskellDirect dead or superseeded by the Haskell FFI? I am having difficulty discovering which FFI technology/package is still useful, viable and alive, the same applies to ODBC connectivity packages. The second set of libraries I am interested in is HTML/CGI libraries. I have yet to investigate those available, so any direction on which library package is currently live and well would also be useful. The reason for these queries is that I wish to write pure Haskell software based heavily around both a database backend and HTML frontend. Thankyou, -- Jamie Love Phone: +64 4 9393425 "If possible, try to find a way to come downstairs that doesn't involve going bump, bump, bump, on the back of your head. - " Pooh in Winnie the Pooh _______________________________________________ Haskell mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell
