Not sure wether I do qualify but since I had contributed to a topic
bordering at your question some time ago and am still working on the
issue here are my DM 0,02:

This whole area isn't exactly trivial if solved in a generalized way and
I don't think it is possible to have a final answer yet.
AFAICT there are quite a few of us working on solutions to this and
similar problems which IMO shows it is a rather common problem.
Therefor I'd expect we'll see a couple of ideas during the next months
(a few more or less working examples already exist if I recall it
correctly) and this presumably will lead to a design that does (well
should ;) do what most users will need as a first shot.
Here is an excerpt of what I am working on right now:
I am currently trying to learn enough about XSLT to allow defining the
underlying datamodel in XML such that all the accessclasses as well as
possibly some Formbeans could be generated automatically (and of course
some SQL etc.)
As a sideeffect some helper classes that deal with merging different
SQL-Stmts and such possibly need to be created as well (and this
might allow for an easy implementation of your above idea).
I assume the extension of iterate and such tags to deal with the
results will be done almost "automatically" once we have a working
infrastructure for dataaccess.
Best,
Michael
