Well, since SQL Methods haven't been released yet, you are missing a vital
element ;-) Seriously, we hope to release SQL Methods soon.

Actually, you can use SQL Methods to map rows to Objects via the "pluggable
brains" facility. These objects can acquire methods in the same way all
Zope Objects--so you've got a double dose of dynamic data.

Is this what you are after?

P.S. Hopefully this will become clearer when we actually get around to
releasing SQL Methods and you can play with them and read the source.
