HaskellDirect (or HDirect for short) is very much alive and
being actively maintained by Sigbjorn Finne.
http://www.haskell.org/hdirect/
It's built on top of the Haskell FFI, but it is much higher level.

| Subject: FFI and ODBC connectivity
|
|
| Hello all,
|
| Currently I am investigating the availability of haskell to
| ODBC connectivity and have been excited by the possibilities.
| Downloading the HaskellDB package
| (http://haskell.cs.yale.edu/haskellDB/)
| and having it run was fantastic.
|
| In the interests of continuing the work of HaskellDB, I wish
| to have this system work under Linux. Before attempting to
| extend HaskellDB to support ODBC (and work through unixODBC -
http://www.unixodbc.org) I wish to ensure that my efforts are not
misdirected.
My questions include:
Is HaskellDB dead? Is it worth extending? (I very much wish to keep the
type safety HaskellDB has).
Is HaskellDirect dead or superseeded by the Haskell FFI?
I am having difficulty discovering which FFI technology/package is still
useful, viable and alive, the same applies to ODBC connectivity
packages.
The second set of libraries I am interested in is HTML/CGI libraries. I
have yet to investigate those available, so any direction on which
library package is currently live and well would also be useful.
The reason for these queries is that I wish to write pure Haskell
software based heavily around both a database backend and HTML frontend.
Thankyou,
