Hi All,

I've found the list of database libraries at http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Libraries_and_tools/Database_interfaces but I haven't found much guidance in choosing among them. , which is what most people are So I'm wondering -- in practice, what do people actually use? Is there a more-or-less generally accepted standard database library for Haskell?

No, there isn't an accepted standard. For low-level database access (read: using SQL strings), HDBC, HSQL and Takusen are the currently useful libraries as far as I know. There is also HaskellDB, which attempts to free you from writing SQL and instead present a high-level, type-safe back-end independent interface. /Björn
