I think WASH was integrated with HWS, but that was a while ago and I
don't know what the current state is.

There is also Hyena, which is very new, but has a lot of promise:

(I'm an author and maintainer of Takusen) Takusen is fine if you use
Oracle, PostgreSQL, or SQLite3. The ODBC driver still has some bugs
which I need to work out.

HDBC is the most popular, I think, and integrates with HaskellDB, if you
are keen on that.
