Hello,
Would you go as far to say that when new programmers ask which database binding to use, we should _recommend_ HDBC then? (As we do gtk2hs, for the gui libraries).
At this point in time, my advice to new Haskell programmers would be: first try Takusen, as long as it can connect to the server you're using (and don't hesitate to ask the maintainers and/or haskell-cafe questions); then try HDBC, perhaps avoiding the lazy retrieval function.
Thanks Jeff! That's exactly what I was looking for. Does anyone know why Takusen isn't on hackage yet? It appears to be cabalised, and have a tarball: http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/pkg-list.html#cat:Database http://darcs.haskell.org/takusen/ -- Don
