[Zope] ZODB vs. SQL

I'm working on an implementation of a Yahoo-like directory app for a 
customer (with Zope), and have a few questions:

1) Any products that do this already?  (I haven't found one)
2) Is it possible (or is it even a good idea) to have the entries 
created as Zope object as opposed to having them stored in a SQL table?  
I'm very new to Zope, so I'm unclear as to the capabilities of the Zope 
object database.  What I want is for users to be able to add their own 
sites, and after they are approved by the administrator, they go live 
and online.

Thanks in advance.  Links to tutorials and/or documentation sections 
would be fine.

BTW, Zope is great.  I installed it yesterday, with no previous Zope or 
Python experience, and already have a decent site skeleton done.  My 
deadline is Monday, but I'm fairly confident I can get up to speed by 
then because so far, Zope has been a breeze.
