And I sort of half agree with you as well :) except I think the repetitive part is the mapping of the objects of which I think the automation should be of generating objects that you are going to map into. In Java there are host of libraries that do this. I have even used Hibernate to do the mapping at times as I do think it does a pretty good job of that. What I mean by mapping is minimal code generation (either host language or SQL) of Class <-> Entity and Row result <-> Object. I think jOOQ approaches that medium you talk about fairly well btw. JDBI and MyBatis are also fairly good as well (both mapping technologies).
