This software acts as an intermediary component, allowing Haskell programs to interact with SQL relational databases through a simplified interface.
The Haskell Database Connectivity project is a fantastic abstraction layer that links Haskell programs and SQL relational databases. Developers can now write their database code in Haskell and have it operate with any backend SQL database, including MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, and ODBC-compliant databases. This means that once you write a code in Haskell, you can use it with numerous databases.
The HDBC has borrowed ideas from different programming languages and interfaces like Perl's DBI, Java's JDBC, Python's DB-API v2, and HSQL in Haskell. The project is not a copy of any existing project. Instead, it is an independent initiative created from scratch to build a better abstraction layer for writing Haskell database connectors.
In conclusion, if you are looking for an abstraction layer that helps you write database code in Haskell and operate with any backend SQL databases, HDBC should be your go-to project. It's well constructed with an excellent interface that makes Haskell programming a delight.
