I doubt that in Zope you're allowed to connect manually to a DB. You
should use the provided mechanisms of DA and ZSQL methods. Which means,
in short, that you define a DB connection with a DA instance and then
create your queries in ZSQL methods, which will be assigend to this
connection; this is the abstraction Charlie mentioned. Please read
chapter 12 of the Zope Book...

Only that you tried to work on too low a level ;-)
