It would be nice if the sample script included an example of how to run the functions (including a sample connection string).

This looks useful. I'm trying to port a C# Dapper library using the Unit of Work pattern which is how I ended up here. What's missing (for me) is a way to wrap this up with transactions.

Definitely would be a plus to add the "chrome" around these snippets. They're very helpful. New users can add

open System.Data.SqlClient
open Dapper
open Npgsql

let connString = "Host=localhost;Database=exampleDB;Username=postgres;Password=example"
let connection = new NpgsqlConnection(connString)
connection.Open()

Note: You'll also need to install Npgsql: dotnet add package Npgsql --version 3.2.7 if you're using Postgres, like I am.

Many thanks @vbfox & @nobleach, the script works and saved me hours of frustration!
