[Zope] Accessing ZSQL connection from external method

[jiva@devware.com]

Aha! I have it!

Your external methods are given a pointer to self as the first
arguement.  You can use this to access any methods in the current
folder (self is the current folder)  So just call:

self.MyZSQLMethod(arg1, arg2)

where arg1 and arg2 are would be the arguments for the ZSQL Method.
