The problem I'm having with SQL right now is that there are a number of not complete and splintered implementation efforts. Having one library outside GHCs libraries but still promoted as the default implementation (and hosted under haskell.org) would be enough.
that is because there many developers what had different vision. you can't force them to work together. all that we can do is to declare one library as "standard" one
While having a single standardised library is a nice goal, I think a first step would be to highlight the current state and pros and cons of the various options. Perhaps we could at least have wiki pages with recommendations? So that a potential user of some particular functionality - whether it is database accesss, GUI, XML, web application development, and so on - can make an as informed decision as possible? -k -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants
