(Btw. Takusen should be split into several packages for all database backends because Cabal flags must not influence the package interface.) I don't understand this (cabal flags must not influence package interface). I thought that was the point of cabal flags? I wanted to have a single package installation, and this seems like the best way.

No, if a package imports Takusen - how can it be assert that it can import

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. -- John
