In general the process is:
- create a database adapter
- create a zsql method to do the insert
- create an html form to submit the data
- create a dtml method to call the zsql method as the form's submit action
Here's a pretty good how-to that describes the entire process in detail.

I find these pages to be an essential reference for zsql:
Creating SQL database methods
http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Guides/ZSQL-HTML/ZSQL.1.4.2.html
Query templates
http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Guides/ZSQL-HTML/ZSQL.1.4.4.html
This section covers some more advanced usage of zsql methods:

Hope this helps!
