HDBC driver for ODBC
Welcome to hdbc-odbc, the Haskell ODBC backend driver for HDBC. This driver has been tested on Windows and on Linux with unixODBC. It should also be compatible with iODBC, though this has not been tested. It should be portable to any platform supported by both Haskell and unixODBC.
This driver is the preferred method of communicating with MySQL from Haskell.
Starting Points
- HDBC API Documentation -- the reference to HDBC, which covers the majority of tasks you would use with this driver
- ODBC-specific API documentation, which covers establishing a connection to the server
- Main HDBC site, with more information about using HDBC in your programs, example code, etc.
Using This Site:
- Editing Wiki Pages
- Reporting Bugs
- Account questions, such as recovering a lost password, logging in, etc.
- Other Software.Complete.Org Projects
- More Information on Software.Complete.Org
Downloads: Source and Binaries
- Source releases are available from the downloads area on this site; just click the Files tab above.
- The latest development trees are available via Git; see below.
- You can find Debian packages from the Debian Page.
- RPMs and packages for many other Linux and BSD distributions are also included with your distribution.
Contributing
You can always download the source from the Downloads page and attach diffs. But it's far better, both for you and for me, if you use Git.
Please see our 5-Minute Git Guide. You can check out the repository with:
git clone git://git.complete.org/hdbc-odbc
You can also help by adding information to this wiki.
Mailing List
I encourage the use of the haskell-cafe mailing list for questions and discussions about HDBC. Gmane has made available excellent archives of this list as well.
Web Forums / Discussion Boards
Discussion about the HDBC ODBC driver can take place on the HDBC forums
