DSH-0.8.2.2: DSH.cabal
Name: DSH
Version: 0.8.2.2
Synopsis: Database Supported Haskell
Description:
This is a Haskell library for database-supported program execution. Using
this library a relational database management system (RDBMS) can be used as
a coprocessor for the Haskell programming language, especially for those
program fragments that carry out data-intensive and data-parallel
computations.
.
Database executable program fragments can be written using the monad
comprehension notation [2] and list processing combinators from the Haskell
list prelude. Note that rather than embedding a relational language into
Haskell, we turn idiomatic Haskell programs into SQL queries.
.
DSH faithfully represents list order and nesting, and compiles the list
processing combinators into relational queries. The implementation avoids
unnecessary data transfer and context switching between the database
coprocessor and the Haskell runtime by ensuring that the number of generated
relational queries is only determined by the program fragment's type and not
by the database size.
.
DSH can be used to allow existing Haskell programs to operate on large scale
data (e.g., larger than the available heap) or query existing database
resident data with Haskell.
.
Note that this package is flagged experimental and therefore is not suited
for production use. This is a proof of concept implementation only. To learn
more about DSH, our paper entitled as "Haskell Boards the Ferry: Database-
Supported Program Execution for Haskell" [1] is a recommended reading. The
package includes a couple of examples that demonstrate how to use DSH.
.
The latest release implements new features described in our work-in-
progress paper entitled as "Algebraic Data Types for Language-Integrated
Queries" [3].
