Yep, its a query builder actually. Not just one query per field write.
I dont really like them though. Stuff you can achieve with that are just basic select/insert/update queries, takes like 20 minutes to understand them if youve never seen a SQL before. The include probably takes the same time to get into the usage, but other than SQL this isnt universal syntax, and youll have to learn it again and again for every new query builder youre using.
Also, once youve got the basics of SQL, theres barely any difference between a query and the builder in terms of readbility. The pure query usually is even easier to read for simple stuff.
So, dont use query builders to avoid learning SQL. That wont pay out.
