No, i wouldn't create it out of the sql code, instead i would suggest to
hang in another generator, that creates not sql but sets of zpt and
ZSQL creation scripts.

Well actually the tool generating a framework (better: workingground?)
for an application would generate a huge pythonscript, which
- imported into zope, or as external method - would create a big set
of those objects, so steps 1 and 3 would be the same as i think.
