You may have a look at "LoginManager" or "GUF" or
"DBUserFolder". All these products (--> zope.org)
will allow you to let the users in your SQL database
and use them from there.
Having them at two different places (Zope and SQL)
will surely lead to inconsistencies over time.

If you do not want to go this route, search the mailing
list archives for "manage_users".
You will find tons of messages how to add (or more general
manage) users programmatically. Yes, this is an FAQ.
