Sure, you can find it (undocumented, unfinished, etc...) at
http://www.beta4.com/kansas.tgz

(the Kansas name comes from association with both IOWA and ruby
slippers...)

Let me know how you make out with it... the implementation gets pretty
convoluted, although the interface is quite straightforward.

Since you didn't use the term, by the way, I'll just point out that what
you described is usually called an Object/Relational Mapping framework -
that might help if you're looking for ideas.  My personal favorite is
Apple's (nee NeXT's) Enterprise Objects.
