Description

 Firebird is a relational database offering many ANSI SQL standard features that runs on Linux, Windows, and a variety of Unix platforms. Firebird offers excellent concurrency, high performance, and powerful language support for stored procedures and triggers.

There exist bindings to utilise Firebird for several languages and frameworks. This project would implement a good Haskell interface to Firebird, to allow us to build Haskell applications with Firebird for storage.

It requries good understanding of Haskell ffi interface and SQL fundamentals.

Nice idea but I don't think this is of enough general usability for GSoC. I think we need better support for more commonly used databases first.
