[Zope] how to get the created table names

[Steve Spicklemire]

Hmm.. I think there is a method of a ZSQL result object called 'names'.. 

Here is a snippet from some working code:

<dtml-let specificTypes="getTypes(ttid=type, name='', tttype='')"
          theNames="specificTypes.names()">

where 'getTypes' is a ZSQL Method and theNames is the list of column names returned
from the query...
