Depends on the abstraction... for example .Net's extensions for LINQ are pretty good at this, I haven't generally used the LINQ syntax, but the abstraction for query constructs are pretty good, combined with Entity Framework. Of course, there's a lot that I don't care for and would prefer Dapper. In the end, the general environment of .Net dev being excessively "enterprisey" has kept me at bay the past several years.

Just looked at LINQ and it looks like Ecto [0] used a lot of its ideas for inspiration! I haven't used LINQ, but in Ecto, there are so many useful constructs for composing queries. If you get a stinker of a query, you have multiple escape hatches such as fragments [1] or just writing the queries directly as needed [2]. For beginners, the Elixir language constructs can be a little clunky, but once you get it, it's so productive and I miss that productivity when doing more advanced queries in other languages.
