Grubby : Quick & Dirty CRUD

OVERVIEW
Grubby is designed to simplify querying a database by replacing most of
the raw SQL with a programmatic interface. The library is based on two
main considerations. First, a clear and concise syntax allows for
bigger, more complex applications. And second, errors should degrade to
less destructive operations and be easy to track down.
EXAMPLES
___Basic Crud___
$table->create(array('cat'=>3, 'foo'=>'bar')); // insert a new row
$table->read(42); // select row with primary key 42
$table->read(array('cat'=>3)); // select all rows where cat=3
$table->update(array('id'=>42, 'cat'=>5)); // update where id=42 set cat=5
$table->all()->update(array('cat'=>7)); // update all rows set cat=7
$table->delete(42); // delete row 42
$table->all()->delete(array('cat'=>3)); // delete all rows where cat=3
___Filtering___
$subset = $table->filter(array('cat'=>3')); // all rows with cat=3
$subset->create(array('foo'=>'bar')); // insert a new row, set cat=3
$subset->read(42); // select row 42, only if cat=3
$subset->read(); // select all rows where cat=3
$subset->update(array('id'=>42, 'cat'=>5)); // update where id=42 AND cat=3 set cat=5
$subset->all()->update(array('cat'=>7)); // update where cat=3 set cat=7
$subset->delete(42); // delete row 42, only if cat=3
$subset->all()->delete(); // delete all rows where cat=3
___Compound filtering___
$subsubset = $subset->not(array('created'=>null));
And so on...
___Slicing and sorting___
// select the first 10 records sorted by name ascending
$subsubset->sort('name')->slice(0, 10)->read();
