Would it maybe be easier for you to base on ddbc[1] or another
existing abstraction layer for database abstraction?
Ddbc is pretty neat, and even has support for reading structs
directly from the database.

Hmm... Does any public code for that exist already that I could
play around with?
Unfortunately, I have a few more unusual requirements for
Postgres, like:
* UUIDs as primary keys, instead of integers
* Ability to register custom datatypes with the ORM (version
numbers in this case, the ORM can view them as text, but the
database has a special type for them)
* Obviously the usual ORM stuff, one-to-many, many-to-many, etc.

(Obviously not a must-have list, I added support for custom
datatypes to my ddbc fork as well, because it's not really a
feature many people need)
Diamond is a neat project, I played around with it about half a
year ago, but didn't test the ORM part at all back then.
