This is the same question iīm trying to answer. Iīm using ZPoPy_DA and Itīs
an stable version. I had problems with strings in ZSQLMethod but it has a
solution. Ok, I donīt know If it has more problems (is the name 'fixes' or
'bugs'?), but I have used it, and my Zope didnīt crash.

I havenīt use ZMySQLDA, but Andy does. I think you donīt have to worry about
DA, so if you want some tables with results of MySql or PostGres (Not Zope
DA) querys (selects, inserts, updates,...) and a very complete definition of
properties of each DB,  Iīll send you but out of this list, "not to waste
bandwitdth list". (somebody say it and i liked it!), and you can decide
later what is better for your project (or for you).
