use a Zsql-method to get the database-results:

    SELECT field1, field2 FROM exampletable

then use something like  the following in your pagetamplate to display
it:

<table>
<tr tal:repeat=3D"rows here/nameOfYourZsqlMethod">
    <td tal:content=3D"rows/field1" />
    <td tal:content=3D"rows/field2" />
</tr>
</table>
