+Welcome to HDBC, Haskell Database Connectivity.
+
+This package provides a database backend driver for ODBC.  You should
+be able to use any ODBC front-end with it.
+
+Please see HDBC itself for documentation on use.  If you don't already
+have it, you can browse this documentation at
+http://darcs.complete.org/hdbc/doc/index.html.
+
+This package provides one function in module Database.HDBC.ODBC:
+
+{- | Connect to an ODBC server.
+
+For information on the meaning of the passed string, please see:
+
+<http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/odbc/htm/odbcsqldrivers.asp>
+
+An example string is:
+
+>"DSN=hdbctest1"
+
+-}
+connectODBC :: String -> IO Connection
+
+DIFFERENCES FROM HDBC STANDARD
+------------------------------
+
+None known at this time.
+
+MYSQL NOTE
+----------
+
+Important note for MySQL users:
+
+Unless you are going to use InnoDB tables, you are strongly encouraged to set
+
+Option = 262144
+
+in your odbc.ini (for Unix users), or to disable transaction support in your
+DSN setup for Windows users.
+
+If you fail to do this, the MySQL ODBC driver will incorrectly state that it
+supports transactions.  dbTransactionSupport will incorrectly return True.
+commit and rollback will then silently fail.  This is certainly /NOT/ what you
+want.  It is a bug (or misfeature) in the MySQL driver, not in HDBC.
+
+You should ignore this advice if you are using InnoDB tables.
+
+PREREQUISITES
+-------------
+
+Before installing this package, you'll need to have HDBC 2.0.0
+above installed.  You can download HDBC from
+http://software.complete.org/hdbc
+
+This version of HDBC-ODBC requires GHC 6.8.x or above, or Hugs 2005xx
+or above.  If you're using Hugs, you'll also need cpphs (see
+http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/fp/cpphs/ if you don't already have it).
+
+Older versions of this package will work with older versions of the
+compiler toolchain.
+
+INSTALLATION
+------------
+
+The steps to install are:
+
+1) Examine HDBC-odbc.cabal and edit the include-dirs
+   line to point to your local ODBC installation.  If necessary,
+   uncomment and edit the extra-lib-dirs line to point to your
+   local ODBC installation.
+
+2) ghc --make -o setup Setup.lhs
+
+3) ./setup configure
+
+4) ./setup build
+
+5) ./setup install   (as root)
+
+If you're on Windows, you can omit the leading "./".
+
+USAGE
+-----
+
+To use with hugs, you'll want to use hugs -98.
+
+To use with GHC, you'll want to use:
+
+ -package HDBC -package HDBC-odbc
+
+Or, with Cabal, use:
+
+  Build-Depends: HDBC>=2.0.0, HDBC-odbc
+
+This package has been tested with unixODBC.
