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.

How to use PostgreSQL with Haskell: selda
Selda “is a Haskell library for interacting with SQL-based relational databases” (PostgreSQL or SQLite). “The library was inspired by LINQ and Opaleye.”

Options for (local) database interop?
Acid state is cool, but doesn't offer all of the relational features I'd expect from a database. I'd really like to use an API like selda, but I'm not sure I'd be able to use it with localstorage.
