Database.SQLite.Simple.Ok

Description

The Ok type is a simple error handler, basically equivalent to Either [SomeException].

One of the primary reasons why this type was introduced is that Either SomeException had not been provided an instance for Alternative, and it would have been a bad idea to provide an orphaned instance for a commonly-used type and typeclass included in base.

Extending the failure case to a list of SomeExceptions enables a more sensible Alternative instance definitions: <|> concatinates the list of exceptions when both cases fail, and empty is defined as 'Errors []'. Though <|> one could pick one of two exceptions, and throw away the other, and have empty provide a generic exception, this avoids cases where empty overrides a more informative exception and allows you to see all the different ways your computation has failed.
