You may want to take a look at Metastorage. This is a tool that
generates code for classes of objects that perform what is known as
object-relational mapping. In simple words, you can abstract table rows
and treat them as objects.
Besides the abstraction level that Metastorage generated code provides,
it also makes you much more productive. You just need to describe the
classes, variables, validation rules, relationships between classes and
functions that you need manipulate your objects. Then Metastorage
generates all the code of the classes that you describe in a few seconds.
Metastorage can also generate classes to install your database schema,
report data extraction classes and classes to generate and process
themed Web forms to perform common types of object manipulation operations.
A similar effort to write, test and debug equivalent code manually would
take days, weeks of months to be ready. The more complex your project
becomes, the greater are the productivity gains that Metastorage provides.
Here you may find more information about Metastorage:

Here are some screenshots of Metastorage generator Web interface and
generated application forms using different themes
