Subject: MySQL module for OCaml
I like to announce the availability of OCamlMySQL: a module that
gives access to MySQL databases from OCaml. The source code and some
details (README and interface) can be found here:
http://www.gaertner.de/~lindig/software
The source comes with GNU Autoconf support which I hope will help to
increase portability of the code. However, this is an early release
and I like to invite you to improve things. I especially would
welcome a review of the C code dealing with the garbage collector and
additions to the configure.in file. Currently the configure script
finds all relevant files on my system (Debian 2.1 but OCaml and MySQL
in /usr/local) but probably needs some fixes for other popular
platforms like RedHat, SuSE, Solaris.
I know that there are more ambitious database projects for OCaml
(listed on http://caml.inria.fr/pub/old_caml_site/hump.html). My intention is to keep
things simple and robust. The code was inspired by the Moscow ML
module for MySQL access (Moscow ML is based on Caml Light).
