"Real World Haskell" seems to say that the abstraction layer HDBC doesn't support MySQL. If so, in what sense doesn't HDBC support MySQL??

It doesn't have a MySQL backend. However, it does have an ODBC backend which should work fine with MySQL.

This was uploaded to hackage yesterday:

You might like to test it and give feedback to the author.

I would very much appreciate feedback. I'm still working with John Goerzen (who has been extremely helpful) to iron our some details, see [1] for a list of issues that you should be aware of before you start doing anything too serious. thanks! chris [1] http://www.maubi.net/~waterson/hacks/hdbc-mysql.html
