Have you used linq?
Datasets there work like [(column_name, value)] heterogenous lists would work on Haskell. It does really not get that problematic. (All the problems go away in Haskell if you decide to use maps too.)
But yes, it throws runtime errors. The nature of retrieving data from a foreign service is that it will throw runtime errors. There is some verification you can do, but a strong typed database layer just makes promises it can not fullfill.
