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.

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.
