	I'm curious as to how to best find information when storing data in 
Zope. I come from a RDBMS background, so writing SQL statements to find 
the data that matches a user's request is a no-brainer for me. I would 
be interested in how one would store hundreds or thousands of records 
of data in Zope, and then find just the one or two that match the given 
criteria. Do you have to iterate through the entire branch of the ZODB, 
or is there another, simpler way that I'm missing?
