Is the "Aqueduct" system the same as "SQL methods"?
Yes.
If so, it isn't really what I would consider an object-relational mapping layer.
I was hoping it would be along the lines of other systems that map database tables onto data container objects, and allow you to code custom behavior for the data objects. I've been looking for an open-source system like this for some time.
Am I missing a part of Zope here?
Well, since SQL Methods haven't been released yet, you are missing a vital element ;-) Seriously, we hope to release SQL Methods soon. Actually, you can use SQL Methods to map rows to Objects via the "pluggable brains" facility. These objects can acquire methods in the same way all Zope Objects--so you've got a double dose of dynamic data. Is this what you are after? -Amos P.S. Hopefully this will become clearer when we actually get around to releasing SQL Methods and you can play with them and read the source.
