Very stable (I have used it for more than 2 years).

No it does not have a SELECT statement or any other relational constracts.
However depending on the structure of your site you might not need many
queries (for instance if your model is hierarchical, it will map nicely on
ZODB). If you do, you can always use ZCatalog to 'index' your objects
depending on whatever criteria you choose and then you can query for
given attributes/contents
