Lesson 33. Capstone: SQL-like queries in Haskell
This capstone covers
- Using the Monad type class to create SQL-like queries on lists
- Generalizing functions written for one Monad (for example, List) to many
- Organizing functions with types
In the preceding lesson, you saw how List as a Monad can also be understood as a list comprehension, which is used heavily in Python. In this capstone, you’re going to take your use of lists and monads one step further to create a SQL-like interface to lists (and other monads). SQL is used as the primary means to query relational databases. It has a clean syntax for representing the relationships between data. For example, if you had data about teachers teaching classes, you could query the teachers teaching ...
