Actually this is a part of zope i really would like to see beeing
cleaned up, as i fixed already 3 issues on sqltest, 1 outstanding
and most time i don't see a real "strategy" someone had writing this
code. And almost all of the sql code looks like this (hundreds of single
letter identifiers, about 0 doc strings per class) and making patches over
patches on them doesn't make them easier to read, and also not more stable.

Hope this will get fixed at least in zope 3 ... :( 

COMMENT FOR ZC PPL:
	sqltest.py is f*$@d up very ugly. collector #6 is one proof of that!!!
