[Haskell-cafe] programmatic DB interface?

Hello. What is currently the recommended higher level data base interface for Haskell? I want to construct queries in a programmatic/algebraic way, and I want typed queries and results. - I guess I want LINQ. The examples in http://book.realworldhaskell.org/read/using-databases.html seem to construct queries as strings. That's horrible! Looks exactly like PHP! Well, no, but it's a lower abstraction level than that I want to work at. I'm sure I'm just missing some package/framework here. Would takusen help? Where's its home page? this does not work: http://darcs.haskell.org/takusen/ Best, Johannes.
