I should add that yet another option with HDBC is:

l colname colmap = Map.lookup colname colmap >>= fromSql

row <- fetchRowMap sth
h1 <- l "col1" row
h2 <- l "col2" row
func h1 h2

So I think you should be able to use HDBC as-is in that usage scenario
pretty easily.

I could add a function like "l" to HDBC if people think it would be
generically useful.
