I was very astonished about this statement because I was convinced,
that the SQL Method were responsible to wrap the result into
a "Results" objects.

I looked in the code and see:

        if type(result) is type(''):
            f=StringIO()
            f.write(result)
            f.seek(0)
            result=RDB.File(f,brain,p, zc)
        else:
            result=Results(result, brain, p, zc)

This means, that the result of a Z SQL Method is
a "Shared.DC.ZRDB.RDB.File" object rather than a "Results"
object when the database adapter returns a string
rather than a list.
Guess: "File" does not have a "dictionaries" method
(but "names" and "data_dictionary").

Seems to be a case for the Collector. I seems bad to
have almost identical code in two different modules.
