Make sure you’re on the latest version of Xcode and type the following into the terminal. Thankfully, there is a simple way to get started with Haskell, the Haskell Tool Stack, and we’ll set it up with homebrew. You’ll see mentions of Cabal and GHCI, perusing the official Haskell documentation doesn’t make it any easier, as it’s still focused on setting everything up with Cabal and sandboxes. Reading through the instructions in the Haskell VS Code extensions doesn’t really tell you a whole lot about actually setting up a Haskell environment. Since the header and the delimiter is known, the query can now be written.Hmm?!? Where to start? The Haskell Tool Stack

In this case, the delimiter is ‘,’ and there is a header in the file:

The second step in copying data from CSV is to check the delimiter and the third step is to check for a header. Now that a table, ‘items,’ has been created to house the data from the csv file, we can start writing our query. Note: It is also possible to import the csv data to a table with more than 2 columns, however the columns that should be copied to will need to be specified in the query (e.g. It must have at least two columns, one a VARCHAR type and the other a MONEY type: The first step, as stated before, is to create the table. This will help in creating the table to load the CSV file into. This data contains two columns: ‘name’ and ‘price.’ Name appears to be a VARCHAR due to it’s different lengths. If there is not a header in the data, do not include HEADER. If a header is present, include HEADER at the end of the query. A Header is a file which contains the column names as the first line of values in the file.
