Not that I know of. Essentially it works exactly the same way as the
Smalltalk collection hierarchy: relations are the collections, and the
elements you iterate over are row-items. Only the message #do:
triggers fetching the data from the server, all other commands such as
#select:, #reject, ... get delayed until you actually need the data.

I don't think that anybody used ROE with anything else than
PostgreSQL. Should be easy to add though.

There is also Magritte-ROE that does sort of a poor mans OR-mapping for ROE.
