A dependency free lightweight fluent SQL query builder using PDO similar to Eloquent, allows you to query your database fluently:

```
$query->select('title, year')
    ->from('movies')
    ->where(function($query) {
        $query->where('title', 'like' ,'A %');
        $query->orWhere('title', 'like' ,'The %');
    })
    ->orderBy('year');
```
