I guess this is a problem you can have with all the middlewares, since they
can improve things putting on abstractions, but when they start doing things
in a way that is not tied to the lower level they must be general and start
imposing a methodology rather than a technology. By the way, is there
something in particular you are talking about?

Uhm...even if you write the SQL statements by hand you will end up (probabily)
writing your own piece of software that gives you any kind of abstraction, so
there's a risk you can find it inadeguate too later in the development
process. By the way I don't still understand if you find them inadeguate
because you'll write SQL statements to keep performances, data integrity,
both.....
