# mysql-simple: mid-level bindings to the mysqlclient library
This library is a mid-level Haskell binding to the MySQL `mysqlclient`
client library. It is aimed at speed and ease of use.

# To do
* Add support for prepared statements. This API is huge and of dubious
performance worth, so it's not currently a priority for me. Patches
welcome!
