I'm looking for a document/text/book about the database design standards, until now I've found this but it is a custom set of rules about design, I need something like an IEEE standard or such.
Thanks in advance.
This is the book I used a few years ago when I initially learned about database design in school: http://www.amazon.com/Database-System-Concepts-Abraham-Silberschatz/dp/0073523321/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1279133097&sr=1-1
For online research, make sure you look into "3rd normal form" designs for your databases. It allows for the most flexibility and maintenance.
As far as I know there is no such thing as an official IEEE standard regarding database design. However there is the Entity-Relationship-Model and the theory of database normalization. For the more mathematically inclined there is relational algebra.
It is also common to make a distinction between physical, logical and conceptual schemata in database design. What is most important area of those 3 would also determine in what kind of material you should be looking into.

There is a lot of databases, but I feel something different needed for Haskell. Like Erlang has it's own DB, Mnesia. Please recommend some good DBs for Haskell.
There are various frameworks for Haskell available, HDBC being the most popular.
HDBC is the database abstraction library, which allows you to use many popular databases, even Oracle or DB2. See Chapter 21. Using Databases in Real World Haskell.
I would advise you to choose the database depending on the type of data you want to store in it, rather than the language your system is implemented in.
Of course, this presupposes that bindings for the database exist in the language.
Since the question mentions Mnesia, I'll mention Haskell's equivalent: AcidState. It's a fast and flexible nosql database written in Haskell that has support for representation of native and user-defined Haskell types (that link shows you some quick how-tos, including implementing a hello-world blog).
There's more recent documentation on their wiki, and I've personally used it here in the implementation of a small web app.
If you're using Postgres I would recommend Opaleye. Disclaimer: I'm biased because I wrote it!

Alright, our visual studio solution grows big in terms of the number of projects in it. Except for things that are obvious, I want to check whether the way it is now is what it has to be or we can better reorganize/package it.
Do you know of any good text on guidelines, principles of package and component design that I can reference? Something in depth, with good analysis, not just tier a, b,c or layer 1, 2, 3, etc.
Thanks.
Chapter 28 in the book Agile Principles, Patterns, and Practices in C# by Robert Martin and Micah Martin covers the principles.

Does anyone know of a good link that has a listing of the Oracle specific datatypes for a beginner?
Staying in the realm of the bloomin' obvious, the Oracle documentation set is always the first - and best - place to start. Check it out.
Edit
The SS64 site is clear but very out-of-date. Its latest syntax is the 9i set, two major releases off the pace. It is also not complete. For instance, the SELECT page doesn't mention the WITH clause, which was a very useful feature introduced in 9i.
If you want a redaction of the more recent documentation then Dan Morgan's Library site is exhaustive (and occasionally exhausting). Here is his page on Oracle datatypes.

Are there any Binary Decision Diagram (BDD) libraries for C, or other languages that are tested and have good documentation?
Check the BDD library from CMU.
Also, for basic reference purposes, Pre-Fascicle 1b of The Art of Computer Programming is all about BDDs. Here's a gzipped postscript of it. Knuth has posted a number of the programs he wrote while preparing for it on his Programs to Read page.
Check out CUDD.
For some info on how to set it up in Windows environments try this..
Binary decision diagram Wikipedia entry, in External links section, as a quite complete list of packages.
BDDBDDB is a BDD-based system for resolving logical inferences a la Prolog. It's been used in program analysis, general game playing, and many other domains. It might not be exactly what you're looking for, but it's well-known and well-maintained.

Is there any open source Object Database available? I would like to have a look at the source code and see how stuffs are implemented.
http://www.zope.org/Wikis/ZODB is the first coming to mind, but here's a list of both commercial and open source object databases:
http://www.odbms.org/vendors.html
db4o is my favorite.
You probably want to take a look at Magma, a Smalltalk OODB inspired by Gemstone.
Magma is an OODB with full source in Squeak Smalltalk. See http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/2665. Even if you want to use a different implementation language, reading the code should be helpful. There is an active mailing list, where questions are answered quickly.
Gemstone is probably the largest OODB company, with the best track-record. It used to be very expensive, but they introduced a free but not open source version for small (4GB) databases recently in their GLASS (Gemstone, Linux, Apache and Seaside) offering.
Prevayler is one of them.
CouchDB is a document database, much the same thing as an object one.
