The differences between HDBC and HSQL have been recently discussed.
Where
does Takusen fit into this picture? From the above, it sounds like it
has
quite a different API. Are all 3 of these actively maintained?

As someone who may wish to construct a haskell db binding for a new db,
it's
not clear to which API it should conform. Sometimes choice is a
burden...
