DTML is mature, not ancient. For ZSQL is DTML the best one. For HTML, css, 
javascripts too. Only for large XML trees the ZPT should be better.

Did you try to make many small dynamic javascript in one page with ZPT? 
Yeah, python scripts calling, instead of placing small dtml code into 
javascript in page...

ZPT is more academic platform, than for everyday usage.

use this:

query1
<dtml-var sql_delimiter>
query2
<dtml-var sql_delimiter>
query3
