Re: [Haskell-cafe] HToolkit HSQL on Windows/GHC
Another thought, which I hesitate to even mention, would be to call the commandline tool via System.Cmd, pipe the results to a file, and read the file, and parse the results. Slow and ugly, but you could have it working in an hour. Hadn't even thought of that, must be my clean upbringing. No need even to use a file; just have it output to a pipe and read directly from the pipe... --KW 8-) -- Keith Wansbrough [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/users/kw217/ University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory. ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

Re: [Haskell-cafe] HToolkit HSQL on Windows/GHC
Doesn't MySql listen on a port? Is that protocol documented? I've used postgresql that way from Haskell. Yes It's usually operated through a TCP/IP (port 3306), and I'd contemplated this, but I was hoping for something standard and off the shelf. Another thought, which I hesitate to even mention, would be to call the commandline tool via System.Cmd, pipe the results to a file, and read the file, and parse the results. Slow and ugly, but you could have it working in an hour. Hadn't even thought of that, must be my clean upbringing. Somone on the haskell list pointed out that ODBC works so I can just use that. It's a bit less tidy since I'll have to define ODBC data sources instead of connecting direct, but I'll live (atleast until I [or better, somone else] get around to fixing the library problem) C ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

Clive, I see that HaskellDb requires htoolkit, so that's no help. Doesn't MySql listen on a port? Is that protocol documented? I've used postgresql that way from Haskell. Another thought, which I hesitate to even mention, would be to call the commandline tool via System.Cmd, pipe the results to a file, and read the file, and parse the results. Slow and ugly, but you could have it working in an hour. Seems like we could even use the higher level abstractions of HSQL or HaskellDB, but sub in this SlowAndUglyButPortable for the lower level access. John From: Clive Brettingham-Moore [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Haskell-cafe] HToolkit HSQL on Windows/GHC To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I realise that this is a little technical for this list, but I thought that I'd check here before starting on the hard-core lists. Is there an easy way to build the HToolkit HSQL library for GHC (6.0.1 when I tried, 6.2.1 now) on windows (particularly MySQL/Windows XP, but I wont say no to postgres, ODBC sqlite)? I assume people have tired and succeded, but I got lost [I think] in the nasty place between the unix/cygwin libraries in GHC and the Windows focus of the compiled MySQL client library. Since haskell is mainly a hobby for me, and I don't have a lot of free time I haven't dug very deep, but not being able to interface my two of my favourite constructs (functional programming and relational databases) is getting to me. So any takers? C ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
