"I grow tired of learning it one year and then relearning it the next."

You would feel the same about Perl if you treated it the same way.

"And I'm particularly intrigued by the idea of being able to write a simple line of Perl code and have all the heavy lifting done for me."

Generating SQL is not heavy lifting. Generating a robust schema that modules your entities and their relationships is the key here, and there is no substitution for learning this.

Go get some education! Search for "Intro to SQL: Querying and managing data" over at Kahn.
