[Zope] ZCatalog, SQL database and PDF files

I just installed Zope2, and it's so great. ZCatalog almost does what I need
to do in my current project. However, there's one thing that it couldn't do
(or at least I don't know how it can be done) -- can ZCatalog be used to
search a SQL database in addition to other objects in the Zope ODB? How
about external files like PDF file?

Python, SQL, Zope and even programming in general are all very new to me (I
am a designer, not a programmer), so if someone knows how it can be done,
please explain it in an easy to understand way (examples are the best!!!)
