ANN: Takusen 0.8.4 This is mainly a "get it working with ghc-6.10" release. Changes since 0.8.3: - ODBC support: some bug fixes, and basic support for Out-parameters. There is at least one major outstanding bug with Out-parameters, where marshalling a String output bind-variable doesn't w

2008-07-11 Thread Alistair Bayley
Changes since 0.8.1 (I put 0.8.2 up on hackage with an error in Setup.hs, so it's been skipped): - ODBC support: datetime marshalling is improved. For bind parameters this uses the timestamp struct for most back-ends, but String for MS SQL Server because populating the timestamp struct alwa

2008-03-05 Thread Alistair Bayley
Oleg and I are pleased to announce the release of Takusen 0.8. (Don Stewart did an interim 0.7 release for us a few weeks ago, and added us to Hackage. This release is a tidy-up of some loose ends, and some bug fixes. Hence, I've summarise the changes since the 0.6 release.) Changes since 0.6:

Oleg and I are pleased to announce the release of a new version of Takusen (it's been a while; so long that we don't remember the last version number we used). The most significant code change is a new internal design (courtesy of Oleg) which gives better separation of concerns like statement pre

I want to use some MS Windows OLE/COM libraries from Haskell, and this page: http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Libraries_and_tools/Interfacing_other_languages and Google suggest that HaskellDirect is the only game in town. Is this the case? And, does anyone have recent experience of it? Is it
