[Haskell-beginners] database, list result, extraction and conversion

[Damien Mattei]

yes thanks you
i had swapped the arguments of map in my code, i lack sleeping those days
this solution worked :
 let resLst = Prelude.map fromOnly bd_rows

but not this:

let noBD2 = Prelude.map _ bd_rows

Prelude> :load UpdateSidonie

it's annoying ,since i add 'import' ,i must Prelude.* basic functions:
import Database.MySQL.Simple
import Database.MySQL.Simple.QueryResults
import Database.MySQL.Simple.Result
import Control.Monad
import Data.Text

i must use Prelude.map, Prelude.head

is there a solution to this problem?
