ZODB is an hierarchical object database. So, yes, there is and no there isn't.
You can't just make a query and get all the data, the data is stored as objects.

On the other hand, getting tha data is dead easy, although you don't
make a query. You just write python. For example, to get all the
subobjects for a particular object, you write

subobjects = the_object.objectValues()

Tada!

Do that recursively, and you pretty much get all the objects you would
be interested in. Then you need to understand each object type, but
that's another thing. ;-)
