Basic types.

Documentation

data Null

A placeholder for the SQL NULL value.

Constructors

Null

Instances

Eq Null

Read Null

Show Null

Typeable Null

Param Null

Result Null

newtype Only a

A single-value "collection".

This is useful if you need to supply a single parameter to a SQL query, or extract a single column from a SQL result.

Parameter example:

query c "select x from scores where x > ?" (Only (42::Int))

Result example:

xs <- query_ c "select id from users"
forM_ xs $ \(Only id) -> {- ... -}

newtype In a

Wrap a list of values for use in an IN clause. Replaces a single "?" character with a parenthesized list of rendered values.

Example:

 query c "select * from whatever where id in ?" (In [3,4,5])

Typeable1 Binary

Eq a => Eq (Binary a)

Ord a => Ord (Binary a)

Read a => Read (Binary a)

Show a => Show (Binary a)

Param (Binary ByteString)

Param (Binary ByteString)

Result (Binary ByteString)

Result (Binary ByteString)

newtype Query

A query string. This type is intended to make it difficult to construct a SQL query by concatenating string fragments, as that is an extremely common way to accidentally introduce SQL injection vulnerabilities into an application.

This type is an instance of IsString, so the easiest way to construct a query is to enable the OverloadedStrings language extension and then simply write the query in double quotes.

 {-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-}

 import Database.PostgreSQL.Simple

 q :: Query
 q = "select ?"

The underlying type is a ByteString, and literal Haskell strings that contain Unicode characters will be correctly transformed to UTF-8.
