1# Project:M36 Persistent Library Driver
3Project:M36 includes a driver for the [persistent](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/persistent) library which offers lowest-common-denominator DBMS support for storing and retrieving Haskell-based datatypes. While the persistent library does not support every Project:M36 feature, it can nonetheless be handy for simple use-cases and database-agnostic mapping.
5For the most part, using the Project:M36 driver should be identical to using other drivers.
7## Setup
9Use ```withProjectM36Conn``` with a configuration argument to add a ReaderT to your monad stack. The, follow that with ```runProjectM36Conn``` to run the monad.
11## Usage
13At this point, all persistent functions are available. The driver always commits to the "master" branch.
15## Caveats
17* Not every persistent data type is supported yet.
18* Tuple ordering in selects is not yet supported.
