@hackage ta0.1

The purpose of this library is to add convenience in database accesses when using Takusen and Oracle, by generating boilerplate code. It's not a substitute to Takusen.

Transito Abierto is implemented in the library (Database.TA.TAB) and this also provides functionality used by the generated code.

TA will generate the declarations of:

1. The datatype declaration for the result of a query,

2. The DBM action that run the query and accumulates the result,

3. Optionally, a meta-variable whose value is the former two declarations.

This initial version has the following benefits:

• TA contains code to test if your program will fail before it runs, based on comparing the original generated code versus a fresh version of generated code,

• The user can code queries with more than eight columns length,

• The code generator process is aware if the column can be null, and generate the appropiate code.

Some TA drawbacks at this point are:

• The user only can specify queries, that is, select statements.

• The select specification is awkward.

• The select specification is a list. You can specify one or many under a sole name.

• You can bind parameters or not (by means of [[]]).

• Functions names and constructors are named in spanish.
