Question

Is anyone aware of a such a thing as a SQL writing library for .Net? I’m thinking it would be wrapper for generating queries in an object oriented style. Maybe something like the following:

class SelectQuery : BaseQuery
{
    List<Column> SelectedColumns { get; set; }
    Table MainTable { get; set; }
    List<Join> Joins { get; set; }
    List<Condition> Conditions { get; set; }
    List<Column> Order { get; set; }

    string Write() { }
}

Nevermind why I’m looking for something to do this. And, there’s no specific problem which this would address for me, I’m just interested in seeing such a thing.

Please note, I am not looking for an O/RM, but a means of writing SQL, and representing queries with objects.

I’ve started a project specifically for this. It’s called SeaQuail.
