Hi Wade,
we did some stuff with sqlalchemy and z3, so I could
help you out with specific questions - but to my shame,
there's no such thing as an easy, written tutorial for this
(or at least none I could locate).

We did 2 projects, but integrated sqlalchemy differently,
since the apps differed significantly - so I could give you
no general solution.

But you're definitely on the right way to integrate
a RDB into Zope3 ;-) - since SQLAlchemy shares a similar
valueset (quality, simplicity, open-ness to python standards/reusability
and style) with Zope3.
