Hi Nick,

you might want to look at something like pgAuthSource in exUserFolder which 
allows you to store Zope user objects in a relational database. I am not 
sure if it is possible to bypass ZSQL when talking to the DA, this depends 
a little on the DA as most of the work is done by shared.ZRDB.aqueduct 
which then essentially calls the .query method of the appropriate driver.
