mysql: bindings to the mysqlclient library
This library is a Haskell binding to the MySQL mysqlclient
client
library. It is a fairly faithful, low level library that implements
most of the MySQL client API. The major departure from the C API is
that in Haskell, resource management is mostly automatic and safe.
This library deliberately avoids the question of providing a “good”
API. Its purpose is to serve as a base upon which higher-level
libraries can be built.
Licensing
This library is BSD-licensed under the terms of the
MySQL FOSS License Exception.
Since this library links against the GPL-licensed mysqlclient
library, a non-open-source application that uses it may be subject
to the terms of the GPL.
To do
- Add support for prepared statements. The prepared statement API is
huge and of dubious performance value, so it’s not currently a
priority for us. Patches welcome!
Get involved!
We are happy to receive bug reports, fixes, documentation enhancements,
and other improvements.
