Do I get it right, you're simply asking how to store some data in a 
database from within Zope?
Well, then you should read the Zope Book, chapter 12 (Relational DB 
Connectivity). A short outline: you set up the Database Adapter for your 
DBMS (MySQL), create the tables needed, create a Z SQL Method and use it 
from within your action file (preferably a Python Script, that's the 
easiest way).
