Hi,

What's wrong with using complex views, stored procedures, functions and
maybe even custom data types to accomplish what you want here? It seems
like you could build a lot of "prepared statements" using these tools,
providing your application layer developers with a consistent set of
interfaces to obtain data that are not tied to the data tables
themselves. And allowing them to insert/update/manage tables via
structured interfaces as well.

Am I missing something?

Best,

Steve
