Database.PostgreSQL.Simple.Internal

Description

Internal bits. This interface is less stable and can change at any time. In particular this means that while the rest of the postgresql-simple package endeavors to follow the package versioning policy, this module does not. Also, at the moment there are things in here that aren't particularly internal and are exported elsewhere; these will eventually disappear from this module.

Synopsis

Documentation

data Field Source

A Field represents metadata about a particular field

You don't particularly want to retain these structures for a long period of time, as they will retain the entire query result, not just the field metadata
