[Haskell-cafe] ANN: Opaleye -- SQL-generating embedded domain specific language for Postgres

[Tom Ellis]

I am pleased to announce the public release of Opaleye, now available on
Hackage and at GitHub:

    http://hackage.haskell.org/package/opaleye

Opaleye is a Haskell library which provides an SQL-generating embedded
domain specific language for targeting Postgres. You need Opaleye if you
want to use Haskell to write typesafe and composable code to query a
Postgres database.

Opaleye allows you to define your database tables and write queries against
them in Haskell code, and aims to be typesafe in the sense that if your code
compiles then the generated SQL query will not fail at runtime. A wide range
of SQL functionality is supported including inner and outer joins,
restriction, aggregation, distinct, sorting and limiting, unions and
differences. Facilities to insert to, update and delete from tables are also
provided. Code written using Opaleye is composable at a very fine level of
granularity, promoting code reuse and high levels of abstraction.

For further information please refer to the README and tutorials:

I would be happy to answer any questions anyone might have about this
library.
