I didn't mean it has to be perfect but i think this is rather necessary. I won't be able to say which one is good but at least other framwork like symfony and zend works like that. The generator creates database abstraction layer and work on sub class so that when you decide to change the relationship or adding extra field you run the generator to remake those DAL classes. Information of relationship between tables can be kept on the ini file or xml file so that you don't have to type or remember like you need to do with the baker.
