Calling a "DA" object gives you a low level connection object (a "db" object). It has a "query" method. Calling it provides "safe" SQL execution.
Thanks, this is what i had in mind.
From other posts, I understood that you want to do special things.
Yes, this is true.
In such cases, reading the source is necessary
Yes, i know. But this would take me much more time than sending an email to the Zope list and getting quick help from experienced Zopistas, time that i unfortunately cannot afford. Of course, reviewing product code on other cases wasn't such a big overhead and i got my task done.

Of course... :-)
I follow the recommendation of others to use ZSQL methods...
I am loading the zodb in read-only mode. If someone breaks into Zope (which btw i believe to be very secure) i don't want him to be able to directly access (read/write) the database i am using. *AFAIK*, ZSQLMethods won't do for this. Thanks for your comments, helpful as always! - Vangelis
