Z SQL results live as long as they are referenced.
They disappear at least when the request is finished.

You can bind them to names:

    <dtml-let my_result=sql_result>...</dtml-let> (DTML)

or

    <... tal:define="[global] my_result here/sql_result">... (ZPT)

or put them into the request object

   "REQUEST.set('my_result', sql_result())" (DTML, similar for ZPT).

You can pass them via "REQUEST" or explicit parameters or
(for DTML callees) the namespace into called scripts.
