I haven't read this entire thread, but I might also just interject here that HDBC supports ODBC (on Windows, and on Linux/Posix platforms via unixODBC, iODBC, or similar), which may be another avenue for you to try. I'm sure there are ODBC Oracle drivers out there, and so if you have your ODBC layer working, you get Haskell support easily.
This was actually how the thread started: I don't get ODBC for Oracle working on Linux. :-( Maybe this is an unixODBC issue - is iODBC an API-compatible replacement?
Yes, iODBC is.
Ok, I gave also iODBC a try and installed libiodbc-3.52.6-1.i386.rpm libiodbc-admin-3.52.6-1.i386.rpm libiodbc-devel-3.52.6-1.i386.rpm After a bit of configuration I called: $ iodbctest NMR2 iODBC Demonstration program This program shows an interactive SQL processor Driver Manager: 03.52.0607.1008 1: SQLDriverConnect = [iODBC][Driver Manager]/usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.4/client/lib/libsqora.so.10.1: undefined symbol: _tcsnccmp (0) SQLSTATE=00000 2: SQLDriverConnect = [iODBC][Driver Manager]Specified driver could not be loaded (0) SQLSTATE=IM003 What is _tcsnccmp and where can I get it from? I hope it is nothing Windows specific. Google suggests that its prototype is: int _tcsnccmp(const _TXCHAR* string1, const _TXCHAR* string2, size_t count);
