[Zope] Odd SQL errors- HELP

[Jon Franz]

Hello, I have Zope 2.2.2 running with a MySQL database, and 
everything _was_ working fine until I started to play with 
the new database structure our dba came up with for tracking
our recruiting process...
anyway, i have a db named recruit, with a MySQLDA connection
object to it that works, but on mnay of the tables I get an error
such as the one pasted below when I attempt to do a simple query...
Now, the state table does not return this error and has this 
structure: (as cut-n-pasted from the mysql monitor)
+-------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field | Type    | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+-------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| state | char(2) |      | PRI |         |       |
+-------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+

meanwhile any of our tables with 'id' fields choke with
the keyerror: unhandled, heres an example table struct:
+-------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| Field | Type         | Null | Key | Default | Extra          |
+-------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| id    | mediumint(8) |      | PRI | 0       | auto_increment |
| value | varchar(32)  |      |     |         |                |
+-------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+

Now, at first i thought it was the field name of 'id' causing 
the problem, but now I've tried renaming the field and its still a no-go.
I can do queries such as 'select value from reason' fine, but if i select
* or the id field, it chokes... Looking through the mailinglist archives,
I think its a 'mapping error' where the ZmySQLDA doesn't properly map
this type of field for some reason... can someone help me solve this
problem?
Yes, I can change the db, but thats really not an acceptable option, since
the dba will then just go 'Well, if zope cant handle a simple db structure
without changing field name and/or types, then i refuse to sign off on
using zope as a development tool!'
