Don't know if it's a problem for any of the ORM's but some functions work 
without any table.

SELECT now();
SELECT 3*sqrt(5); -- I misplaced my calculator

are perfectly valid PostgreSQL statements. Oracle has a strange 'dual' table 
for things like this, but it shouldn't be necessary in modern database 
systems.
