Do you know of any such framework?
You may take a look at Instant Objects (http://www.instantobjects.org/).
It is free open source and a great persistence framework. I performed a
comparison between InstantObjects and tiOPF a little time ago, just to make
a choice about which to use in my projects, and found that IO is beyond
comparison. I found it to be more powerful and easier than tiOPF, by far.

Maybe we read the code differently. :-) I find tiOPF very flexible in
many different area and for many different projects. Yes the tiOPF
uses a lot of design patterns and yes most functionality is based on
the Visitor pattern, but that is exactly what I like about it. The
Visitor pattern combined with the Iterator gives you such a lot of
power, and is ideal on a hierarchy of objects and that is how most
data gets presented anyway (for example: Treeview component and
Relational databases). Why more OPF's don't follow this route, I got
no idea! tiOPF must be doing something right though, seeing that it
has been in active development for just under 10 years now.

There are not many other publicly available OPF frameworks written in
Object Pascal.
