Disclaimer - I have little know how of ORMs and haven't developed anything more than scripts for a long long time. What happened to 4GLs when the web came? i.e. It looks a little like this would be a solved problem if there were a open

If you've not read of the effects of naltrexone on [Met5]-enkephalin (OGF - opiod growth factor) it's worth doing so. A fascinating area. https://profiles.psu.edu/profiles/display/113208
