Well, people are starting to use my tool, Alzabo (alzabo.sourceforge.net)
and I'm getting feedback. More feedback about what people want it always
welcome. FWIW, Alzabo gives you a reasonable amount of control over the
SQL that is generated, if you need it. It doesn't yet allow optimizer
hints but that will change in a future version.
OTOH, if you really _need_ to get into the nitty gritty details of SQL its
hard to imagine that any abstraction layer would ever be satisfactory.
