I'm not sure why you don't want to use SQL Template.
It's designed to handle ad hoc queries.
It's just a different way to specify what sql gets generated, but the
results can still be returned as relational objects.
If you're worried about embedding table and field names into the query, just
fetch them from the model. That's all the Expression stuff does underneath.
It just means there's a little more work for you.
I still think there's probably a way to do this with Expressions, but I
don't have time to try to figure out how. I'd think you could experiment
around with it with query logging enabled and see how combinations of
expressions generate various chunks of sql.
