I don't want to be negative here, but, don't do it for this reason.  It
will be far easier simply use a database and a matching adapter.  ZSQL
Queries are very easy to create; you think you want one in the future;
so make the future now!

Now, that being said, you probably want to look at the query method of
an existing DA; for example
$ZOPEPATH/lib/python/Products/ZGadflyDA/db.py
