Usage does not align with docs or this is just broken.

I have been avoiding database work with F# because it never worked. What I mean by this is the libraries are just non existent when following the official docs.

I visit the type provider site and follow the link to nuget. After adding it I try to follow the instructions.

• Open namespace FSharp.Data. This is where it breaks. All that is present in this namespace is 'UnitSystems'.

If these steps are incorrect the docs need to reflect that or just remove the package. I have revisited data access over the past 2 years and nothing has changed.

Using dapper and just raw queries seems to be the only solution but falling back to C# just seems a better workflow honestly. It's a shame since F# boasts about happy coding and data manipulation but this seems far from the truth.

I like F# and use it a lot but just can't advise using it since the database related tasks seems totally broken.

Decided to close this since it doesn't seem exclusive to this library and it seems like a misc paket issue.

Most devs don’t really need the advanced features that paket offers, although it can be useful for library developers. You don’t have to use it. (I don’t.)
