It also recognizes and strips out standard sql comments "--". -- -- The implementation of the whitespace reducer is currently incomplete. -- Thus it can mess up your syntax in cases where whitespace should be -- preserved as-is. It does preserve whitespace inside standard SQL string -- literals. But it can get confused by the non-standard PostgreSQL string -- literal syntax (which is the default setting in PostgreSQL 8 and below), -- the extended escape string syntax, quoted identifiers, and other similar -- constructs. -- -- Of course, this caveat only applies to text written inside the SQL -- quasiquoter; whitespace reduction is a compile-time computation and -- thus will not touch the @string@ parameter above, which is a run-time -- value. -- -- Also note that this will not work if the substring @|]@ is contained -- in the query. sql :: QuasiQuoter sql = QuasiQuoter { quotePat = error "Database.PostgreSQL.Simple.SqlQQ.sql: quasiquoter used in pattern context" , quoteType = error "Database.PostgreSQL.Simple.SqlQQ.sql: quasiquoter used in type context" , quoteExp = sqlExp , quoteDec = error "Database.PostgreSQL.Simple.SqlQQ.sql: quasiquoter used in declaration context" } sqlExp :: String -> Q Exp sqlExp = appE [| fromString :: String -> Query |] . stringE . minimizeSpace minimizeSpace :: String -> String minimizeSpace = drop 1 . reduceSpace where needsReduced [] = False needsReduced ('-':'-':_) = True needsReduced (x:_) = isSpace x reduceSpace xs = case dropWhile isSpace xs of [] -> [] ('-':'-':ys) -> reduceSpace (dropWhile (/= '\n') ys) ys -> ' ' : insql ys insql ('\'':xs) = '\'' : instring xs insql xs | needsReduced xs = reduceSpace xs insql (x:xs) = x : insql xs insql [] = [] instring ('\'':'\'':xs) = '\'':'\'': instring xs instring ('\'':xs) = '\'': insql xs instring (x:xs) = x : instring xs instring [] = error "Database.PostgreSQL.Simple.SqlQQ.sql: string literal not terminated"
