Yes, i know. But this would take me much more time than sending an email
to the Zope list and getting quick help from experienced Zopistas, time
that i unfortunately cannot afford. Of course, reviewing product code on
other cases wasn't such a big overhead and i got my task done.

I am loading the zodb in read-only mode. If someone breaks into Zope
(which btw i believe to be very secure) i don't want him to be able to
directly access (read/write) the database i am using. *AFAIK*,
ZSQLMethods won't do for this.
Thanks for your comments, helpful as always!
