I think this is the problem, not the solution. There is a lot of DB
libraries, just like there are a multitude of XML libraries, several
collections, etc. Too many libraries are written as research projects
or by grad students, and left to rot after release. The fragmentation
also means that few libraries see any extensive testing - I was a bit
surprised that apparently none of the XML libraries can handle files
larger than a few megabytes, for instance.
Hello
My post wasn't intended as raging criticism, I can guess that
developping these libraries takes a lot of (unpaid) work.
And I am grateful for these libraries no matter what. However, if
what is needed to install and use MySQL (or another popular DB) from
Haskell could be drastically made shorter and easier, more people
might use Haskell in domains where it still is largely marginal (like
say... websites).
