Documentation

A collection type that can be converted from a sequence of fields. Instances are provided for tuples up to 10 elements and lists of any length.

Note that instances can defined outside of sqlite-simple, which is often useful. For example, here's an instance for a user-defined pair:

data User = User { name :: String, fileQuota :: Int }

instance FromRow User where
     fromRow = User <$> field <*> field

The number of calls to field must match the number of fields returned in a single row of the query result. Otherwise, a ConversionFailed exception will be thrown.

Note the caveats associated with user-defined implementations of fromRow.
