Again I'll be glad to be proved wrong! You will never get a framework that is as versatile as SQL. SQL is very flexible. Having said that, Drupal framework appears to be the best I have seen so far. However, it allows access to raw SQL. So If you do find something you can't do efficiently as you require, you still do it. As a side note, use of a good framework also avoids the "programmer-forgot-to-SQL-quote-the-untrusted-user-input" security errors that seem to be so common these days. -- Brian May
