Database.PostgreSQL.Typed.Dynamic

Automatic (dynamic) marshalling of PostgreSQL values based on Haskell types (not SQL statements). This is intended for direct construction of queries and query data, bypassing the normal SQL type inference.

Documentation

class PGType t => PGRep t a | a -> t where

Represents canonical/default PostgreSQL representation for various Haskell types, allowing convenient type-driven marshalling.

Instances

PGRep "\"char\"" Char

PGRep "bigint" Int64

PGRep t a => PGRep t (Maybe a)

pgSafeLiteral :: PGRep t a => a -> String

Produce a safely type-cast literal value for interpolation in a SQL statement.

pgSubstituteLiterals :: String -> ExpQ

Create an expression that literally substitutes each instance of ${expr} for the result of pgSafeLiteral expr. This lets you do safe, type-driven literal substitution into SQL fragments without needing a full query, bypassing placeholder inference and any prepared queries. Unlike most other TH functions, this does not require any database connection.
