ZSQL Methods return a sequence of record objects.  These record objects
are instanciated on the fly.  You can even specify a class in the
filesystem that defines your returned objects.  These are called
pluggable brains, and are probably what your looking for, because you
can define the actualy object returned to you, and don't have to go
sniffing on it to find out it's properties.
