Yes, it's being looked after, so should you come across problems using it, please let me know.
Re: HaskellDB, I added MySQL support to it a while ago, which is one route to get it to work on non-Windows platform. Releasing these changes would probably be a good idea. Having said that, going through ODBC does sound like a potentially more valuable thing to do. --sigbjorn ----- Original Message ----- From: "Simon Peyton-Jones" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Jamie Love" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Haskell Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, June 05, 2002 08:15 Subject: RE: FFI and ODBC connectivity > HaskellDirect (or HDirect for short) is very much alive and > being actively maintained by Sigbjorn Finne. > http://www.haskell.org/hdirect/ > > It's built on top of the Haskell FFI, but it is much higher level. > > Simon > > | -----Original Message----- > | From: Jamie Love [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > | Sent: 05 June 2002 06:30 > | To: Haskell Mailing List > | Subject: FFI and ODBC connectivity > | > | > | 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.
