+2. License Grants and Conditions
+--------------------------------
+
+2.1. Grants
+
+Each Contributor hereby grants You a world-wide, royalty-free,
+non-exclusive license:
+
+(a) under intellectual property rights (other than patent or trademark)
+    Licensable by such Contributor to use, reproduce, make available,
+    modify, display, perform, distribute, and otherwise exploit its
+    Contributions, either on an unmodified basis, with Modifications, or
+    as part of a Larger Work; and
+
+(b) under Patent Claims of such Contributor to make, use, sell, offer
+    for sale, have made, import, and otherwise transfer either its
+    Contributions or its Contributor Version.
+
+2.2. Effective Date
+
+The licenses granted in Section 2.1 with respect to any Contribution
+become effective for each Contribution on the date the Contributor first
+distributes such Contribution.
+
+2.3. Limitations on Grant Scope
+
+The licenses granted in this Section 2 are the only rights granted under
+this License. No additional rights or licenses will be implied from the
+distribution or licensing of Covered Software under this License.
+Notwithstanding Section 2.1(b) above, no patent license is granted by a
+Contributor:
+
+(a) for any code that a Contributor has removed from Covered Software;
+    or
+
+(b) for infringements caused by: (i) Your and any other third party's
+    modifications of Covered Software, or (ii) the combination of its
+    Contributions with other software (except as part of its Contributor
+    Version); or
+
+(c) under Patent Claims infringed by Covered Software in the absence of
+    its Contributions.
+
+This License does not grant any rights in the trademarks, service marks,
+or logos of any Contributor (except as may be necessary to comply with
+the notice requirements in Section 3.4).
+
+2.4. Subsequent Licenses
+
+No Contributor makes additional grants as a result of Your choice to
+distribute the Covered Software under a subsequent version of this
+License (see Section 10.2) or under the terms of a Secondary License (if
+permitted under the terms of Section 3.3).
+
+2.5. Representation
+
+Each Contributor represents that the Contributor believes its
+Contributions are its original creation(s) or it has sufficient rights
+to grant the rights to its Contributions conveyed by this License.
+
+2.6. Fair Use
+
+This License is not intended to limit any rights You have under
+applicable copyright doctrines of fair use, fair dealing, or other
+equivalents.
+
+2.7. Conditions
+
+Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4 are conditions of the licenses granted
+in Section 2.1.
+
+3. Responsibilities
+-------------------
+
+3.1. Distribution of Source Form
+
+All distribution of Covered Software in Source Code Form, including any
+Modifications that You create or to which You contribute, must be under
+the terms of this License. You must inform recipients that the Source
+Code Form of the Covered Software is governed by the terms of this
+License, and how they can obtain a copy of this License. You may not
+attempt to alter or restrict the recipients' rights in the Source Code
+Form.
+
+3.2. Distribution of Executable Form
+
+If You distribute Covered Software in Executable Form then:
+
+(a) such Covered Software must also be made available in Source Code
+    Form, as described in Section 3.1, and You must inform recipients of
+    the Executable Form how they can obtain a copy of such Source Code
+    Form by reasonable means in a timely manner, at a charge no more
+    than the cost of distribution to the recipient; and
+
+(b) You may distribute such Executable Form under the terms of this
+    License, or sublicense it under different terms, provided that the
+    license for the Executable Form does not attempt to limit or alter
+    the recipients' rights in the Source Code Form under this License.
+
+3.3. Distribution of a Larger Work
+
+You may create and distribute a Larger Work under terms of Your choice,
+provided that You also comply with the requirements of this License for
+the Covered Software. If the Larger Work is a combination of Covered
+Software with a work governed by one or more Secondary Licenses, and the
+Covered Software is not Incompatible With Secondary Licenses, this
+License permits You to additionally distribute such Covered Software
+under the terms of such Secondary License(s), so that the recipient of
+the Larger Work may, at their option, further distribute the Covered
+Software under the terms of either this License or such Secondary
+License(s).
+
+3.4. Notices
+
+You may not remove or alter the substance of any license notices
+(including copyright notices, patent notices, disclaimers of warranty,
+or limitations of liability) contained within the Source Code Form of
+the Covered Software, except that You may alter any license notices to
+the extent required to remedy known factual inaccuracies.
+
+3.5. Application of Additional Terms
+
+You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support,
+indemnity or liability obligations to one or more recipients of Covered
+Software. However, You may do so only on Your own behalf, and not on
+behalf of any Contributor. You must make it absolutely clear that any
+such warranty, support, indemnity, or liability obligation is offered by
+You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify every Contributor for any
+liability incurred by such Contributor as a result of warranty, support,
+indemnity or liability terms You offer. You may include additional
+disclaimers of warranty and limitations of liability specific to any
+jurisdiction.
+
+4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation
+---------------------------------------------------
+
+If it is impossible for You to comply with any of the terms of this
+License with respect to some or all of the Covered Software due to
+statute, judicial order, or regulation then You must: (a) comply with
+the terms of this License to the maximum extent possible; and (b)
+describe the limitations and the code they affect. Such description must
+be placed in a text file included with all distributions of the Covered
+Software under this License. Except to the extent prohibited by statute
+or regulation, such description must be sufficiently detailed for a
+recipient of ordinary skill to be able to understand it.
+
+5. Termination
+--------------
+
+5.1. The rights granted under this License will terminate automatically
+if You fail to comply with any of its terms. However, if You become
+compliant, then the rights granted under this License from a particular
+Contributor are reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until such
+Contributor explicitly and finally terminates Your grants, and (b) on an
+ongoing basis, if such Contributor fails to notify You of the
+non-compliance by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after You have
+come back into compliance. Moreover, Your grants from a particular
+Contributor are reinstated on an ongoing basis if such Contributor
+notifies You of the non-compliance by some reasonable means, this is the
+first time You have received notice of non-compliance with this License
+from such Contributor, and You become compliant prior to 30 days after
+Your receipt of the notice.
+
+5.2. If You initiate litigation against any entity by asserting a patent
+infringement claim (excluding declaratory judgment actions,
+counter-claims, and cross-claims) alleging that a Contributor Version
+directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then the rights granted to
+You by any and all Contributors for the Covered Software under Section
+2.1 of this License shall terminate.
+
+5.3. In the event of termination under Sections 5.1 or 5.2 above, all
+end user license agreements (excluding distributors and resellers) which
+have been validly granted by You or Your distributors under this License
+prior to termination shall survive termination.

+This library proves a test interface for [hasql](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/hasql) library.
+Hasql is very performant Postgres client library for Haskell, that allows to write raw SQL queries.
+Ability to write raw queries allows to use the full set of the database engine features and easy
+debug and analysis using external tools. 
+
+However when writing raw queries it's very easy to make a mistake and this mistake
+will not be checked by the compiler. This library tries to solve the problem by introducing
+helpers to test queries.
+
+# Features
+
+The library provides some basic tests of the database queries:
+
+   * `explain tests` - tests that checks that we can call explain on the query
+        this test will guarantee that the database can parse the query and run
+        it in the current schema. This test also automatically checks parameters
+        encoding.
+
+# How to use the library.
+
+At this moment there is no automation that would allow to gather all the queries across the
+project. So usually the simplest way is to export all the queries from the module:
+
+```haskell
+module A 
+  ( ...
+  , queries
+  ) where
+
+
+queries :: (String, SomeQuery)
+queries =
+  [ "queryName" =>> queryName 
+  , "anotherQuery" =>> anotherQuery
+  ]
+```
+
+And use that function in the test suite:
+
+```haskell
+module Main (main) where
+
+import Test.Tasty
+import Test.Tasty.HUnit
+import A qualified
+
+main = defaultMain $
+  withResource (startupPostgres) (teardownPostgres) $ mkDb ->
+    withResource (mkDb >>= allocateConnection) (freeConnection) $ conn ->
+      tests conn
+
+tests :: IO HC.Connection -> TestGroup
+tests mkConn = testGroup "explain-tests" $
+  [ testGroup "A" $ A.queries <&> \(name, SomeQuery q) ->
+      testCase name $ mkConn >>= explain q
+  ]
+```
+
+## Using the library with Nix
+
+There are a plenty of the approaches that can allow to use the library with
+nix, but we prefer the following:
+  
+  1. Add the package to the `haskellPackages` set by any means
+  2. Write a wrapper that will add a dependency on the Postgres server of
+     the required version:
+
+    ```nix
+    { hpkgs   # haskell packages set
+    , haskell # haskell lib
+    , postgresql_11 # postgres version
+    }:
+    
+    haskell.lib.overrideCabal hpkgs.db-tests (drv: {
+      # Add postgres server to the tests dependencies:
+      testDepends = (drv.testDepends or []) ++ [postgresql_11];
+      # have streaming logs, very useful for CI
+      testTarget = "--show-details=streaming";
+      doCheck = true;
+
+      # there can be any other modifications:
+      #
+      # enableSharedExecutables = false;
+      # enableSeparateDataOutput = true;
+      # enableSeparateDocOutput = true;
+      # enableLibraryProfiling = false;
+      # isLibrary = true;
+      # doHaddock = false;
+    })
+   ```
+
+
+# Tricks
+
+1. In order to substitute the parameters we require all the parameters to have
+`Arbitrary` instance, however it's not always possible as not all parameters may
+have a sane instance. In such cases it worth mapping the query input. It can be
+done by applying `lmap` from `profunctors` package:

+description:        The library provides an interface to test queries
+                    in the projects that are using hasql library. Hasql library
+                    is very low-level and allows you to use all the features of Postgres
+                    at the cost of losing type safety. This package is intended to
+                    fill the gap and simplify testing the project by providing helper functions
+                    for basic queries tests that do not depend on the concrete application logic.

+-- $explain-tests
+--
+-- Explain tests are the tests that are based on the idea to run
+-- @explain@ on the query. It means that if we have some SQL query we run
+-- @EXPLAIN $SQL@ and provide some variables. Then we check if this query
+-- succeeds.
+--
+-- If this test passes it guarantees:
+--
+--   1. that the query is well-formed and that encoders works.
+--
+-- However it does not check:
+--
+--   1. If encoder works
+--   2. The complexity of the query
+--   3. Locks that the query holds
+
+-- | Runs explain test.
+--
+-- __Note__ In order to run the query we need to substitute parameters,
+-- we chose to pass an arbitrary value (using quickcheck), however some values may
+-- miss the arbitrary instance, in such cases one can use 'lmap' to map values from
+-- the ones that have this interface. I.e.
+--
+-- @
+-- explain (lmap (\() -> constValue) query)
+-- @
+--
