OK, I went back and looked at my Git logs and you're right.  Wrong
Andrew.  Sorry.

LOL! S'OK...

I would welcome bug reports and, even better, patches for this stuff.

But I was pretty sure that HDBC and HDBC-ODBC in particular are
working on Windows.

OK, well how about this then: In a few weeks when I upgrade to GHC 6.10.1, I'll tell you whether it builds there. ;-)

For the record, which package is the "correct" one to use? Hackage seems to have a bazillion different database packages, and I have literally no idea which ones are the currently maintained ones...

Regardless, it has been my general experience that almost everything obtained from Hackage fails miserably to compile under Windows. (IIRC, one package even used a Bash script as part of the build process!) I haven't seen similar problems on Linux. (But I don't use Linux very often.) About the worst problem there was Gtk2hs being confused about some Autoconfig stuff or something...
