[Zope] Writing to SQL Databases

[Ross J. Reedstrom]

Sorry for the near miss everyone. I _did_ go look at a working ZSQL
query I have, and thought I translated it into Sean's case correctly,
but something still looked wrong... Those dang quotes can be so invisible
(but important) sometimes! I overgeneralized the case of using #call
for calling DTMLMethods, I think. (You do need to pass the REQUEST in
that case as well, right?)

Ross

P.S. thanks for the catch, Michel. I _hate_ spreading disinformation, but
noone had answered Sean, and it seemed so simple...
