What I *haven't* done yet is read the chapters where they try to claim that database programming is possible in Haskell. I'll have to do that at some point. Maybe this is where they reveal the Secret Formula that makes this stuff actually work properly... but somehow I doubt it.

Well, it's certainly possible to interact with a SQL database. You have had some kind of trouble, or you have a higher notion of "database programming"?

Yeah: None of the packages on Hackage will compile successfully. :-P

It seems to be an unwritten law that any package involving non-Haskell components doesn't work on Windoze.

(Hack, wxHaskell even comes with a special pre-build Windows binary... and it *still* doesn't work!)
