A brief description of how to get HDBC-ODBC working under windows, for connecting to things like MS SQL server.
Install
- Ensure your path contains the ghc bin directory:
- Right click on My Computer, select Properties -> Advanced -> Environment variables -> change the variable 'Path'
- Download and install MDAC/ODBC Software Development Kit, from a link on this page:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5793 - Download and unpack the most recent versions of hdbc and hdbc-odbc hackage.haskell.org
- Follow the README instructions for installing hdbc
- Follow the README instructions for installing hdbc-odbc, with these changes:
- The include-dirs line should be changed to:
include-dirs: . "C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Data Access SDK 2.8\\Libs\\x86" - Do the following at a command prompt, with the hdbc-odbc directory being current directory:
- The include-dirs line should be changed to:
ghc --make -o setup Setup.hs setup configure setup build setup install
Alternatively, as of the latest hackage build (HDBC-odbc-2.2.3.2) performing a cabal build works using:
cabal update cabal install HDBC-odbc
You may need other ODBC drivers, but often they will be installed already on a development box that has the database server installed.
Test
You can test it from a ghci prompt (obviously you'll need to change the connection string and query):
