[Haskell-cafe] Database.postgreSQL.Simple - ambigious type

[Hartmut Pfarr]

Thx, I changed now from query to query_
Now the coding is like that:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
{-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-}

import Database.PostgreSQL.Simple
import Database.PostgreSQL.Simple.FromRow

hello :: (FromRow a) => IO [a]
hello = do
   conn <- connect defaultConnectInfo
   query_ conn "select 2 + 2"

main = return ()
------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've no errors any more.
But: I don't see any result (for sure, it is not coeded yet)

I need some help to get data from "hello" via "FromRow" into the main 
function.

E.g. I want to put the "hello" database result (the number "4") to the 
screen.

Could anybody give an advice how I can accomplish this?

Kind regards
Hartmut
