F#Beginner:从服务器检索数据数组

Seq类型有一个简洁的函数来处理名为generate_using的数据库游标(参见F#Manual和F#基础中的数据访问章节).这是一个更高阶的函数,它接受一个函数来打开游标,另一个函数(重复调用)来处理来自游标的记录.以下是一些使用generate_using执行sql查询的代码:

let openConnection (connectionName : string) =
    let connectionSetting = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings.Item(connectionName)
    let connectionString = connectionSetting.ConnectionString
    let connection = new OracleConnection(connectionString)
    connection.Open()
    connection

let generator<'a> (reader : IDataReader) =
    if reader.Read() then
        let t = typeof<'a>
        let props = t.GetProperties()
        let types = props
                    |> Seq.map (fun x -> x.PropertyType)
                    |> Seq.to_array
        let cstr = t.GetConstructor(types)
        let values = Array.create reader.FieldCount (new obj())
        reader.GetValues(values) |> ignore
        let values = values
                     |> Array.map (fun x -> match x with | :? DBNull -> null | _ -> x)
        Some (cstr.Invoke(values) :?> 'a)
    else
        None

let executeSqlReader<'a> (connectionName : string) (sql : string) : 'a list =        
    let connection = openConnection connectionName

    let opener() = 
        let command = connection.CreateCommand(CommandText = sql, CommandType = CommandType.Text)
        command.ExecuteReader()

    let result = Seq.to_list(Seq.generate_using opener generator)        

    connection.Close()
    connection.Dispose()
    result

type ColumnDefinition = {
    TableName : string;
    ColumnName : string;
    DataType : string;
    DataLength : decimal;                
}

let tableList = executeSqlReader
    "MyDatabase"
    "SELECT t.table_name, column_name, data_type, data_length FROM USER_TABLES t, USER_TAB_COLUMNS c where t.TABLE_NAME = c.table_name order by t.table_name, c.COLUMN_NAME"
