groundhog
This library maps datatypes to a relational model, in a way similar to what ORM libraries do in OOP. See the tutorial https://www.schoolofhaskell.com/user/lykahb/groundhog for introduction (by lykahb)

The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

How can database libraries be compared to each other?
There is also groundhog, which I used with sqlite in a toy project, but that was years ago. I can see it had a release this year, which is a good sign.

How to use PostgreSQL with Haskell: beam
Beam “is a highly-general library for accessing any kind of database with Haskell”. Beam makes extensive use of GHC's Generics mechanism — no Template Haskell.

How can database libraries be compared to each other?
One anecdotal opinion from a rando reddit user: I prefer beam despite the boilerplate and more complex types because of the authors make a serious attempt at sql-standards compliance: https://github.com/haskell-beam/beam
- A more functional approach

Haskell sql multi-engine library
It's actively worked on: https://github.com/haskell-beam/beam Makes heavy use of the type level though.
