I don't know why you're being downvoted. Even when you're using an oo language, there's not always a reason to force your query results into an "Object." Frequently the only object you need is a 2 dimensional data structure which could be a list of dictionaries, or a DataTable or something like that. You don't always need a special named structure for the results of every query. ORM's always seem to be designed for people who have a one to one mapping between data structures in their program and tables in their DB. I find that this very rarely makes sense, particularly when you're talking about analytical applications.
