This project is a SQL database abstraction layer that provides a consistent object-oriented interface for interacting with multiple relational database systems. It includes a driver wrapper to standardize connections and result sets, a fluent query builder for constructing portable SQL statements, and a type mapper for converting database-specific data types into native application types and vice versa. The library enables programmatic schema management through a schema manager that can introspect database metadata, model structures as objects, and generate the SQL required to migrate between
