wondering if I dislike ORMs as a category, or whether there are actually any DB abstractions I'd like to use

coming from Python, is it like the non-ORM portion of SQLAlchemy? the core/expression language portion of SQLAlchemy requires you know how to write SQL but lets you compose the query from components (column expressions, predicates, etc)

One thing to note, we have a focus on type safety as well. e.g. if your program compiles, you won't get runtime DB errors (stronger guarantees for select statements than insert/update/delete, triggers are turing complete after all).

This will make your code way more resilient, but also harder to make generic (e.g. a function that takes any table with a column called "name" is really difficult to express. Reach for a macro in that case).
