Are there Oracle bindings for HDBC anywhere? The HDBC project page talks about Oracle backends but there isn't an Oracle-specific driver listed (I assume one can reach an Oracle backend through the ODBC interface?).
I started writing Oracle bindings for HDBC based on the Takusen code. It was done mostly for playing than for anything else and certainly isn't production ready, but it is available in a darcs repo at http://thiagoarrais.com/repos/hdbc-oracle in case anyone is interested.
I've also tried to access Oracle from Haskell a few months ago. I could connect from Takusen, HSQL/Oracle, but I had no success getting ODBC to run with the Oracle Instant Client, and thus could not use HDBC. Eventually I was told to use the latest version of the Instant Client (i.e. 11), but didn't try. http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe/2008-June/044507.html
