Hi Dale,

if I understand you correctly, you want to be able to UNION the two queries. 
If that is the case then I'd be tempted to do this on the database side if 
possible. Of course, Zope does make it easy to integrate the two result sets 
using a PythonScript.

As you can interate through the objects you can easily create two lists and 
combine them:

results = list(context.SQL1())
results += list(context.SQL2())

If performance is an issue then you should look at combining the results on 
the db side.
