| Summary: A Brief Introduction to PG'OCaml | |
PG'OCaml, by Richard W. M. Jones, provides an interface to PostgreSQL databases for OCaml applications. It uses Camlp4 to extend the OCaml syntax, enabling one to directly embed SQL statements inside the OCaml code. Moreover, it uses the describe feature of PostgreSQL to obtain type information about the database. This allows PG'OCaml to check at compile-time if the programme is indeed consistent with the database structure. This type-safe database access is the primary advantage that PG'OCaml has over other PostgreSQL bindings for OCaml. Unfortunately, PG'OCaml is rather lacking on the documentation front. This document aims to fill that gap, by providing an overview of the capabilities of the library, usage examples, and solutions to potential pitfalls. Moreover, it also addresses the installation of PG'OCaml, how to compile programmes that make use of the library, and the correspondence between PostgreSQL data types and their OCaml counterparts.
