Assuming you have a InnoDB Database named "db" running on your localhost (the same computer Zope is running on) and there's a user account named "jrandom" being permitted to access this DB with the password "hacker":

+db jrandom hacker

The plus sign indicates that transactions should be enabled; AFAIK if you use only MyISAM tables this has no point.
Add host and port according to your setup (3306 is AFAIK the default port of MySQL, so there's no need to provide host and port in the above sample).
