        ZSQLCatalog is an extension to the traditional Zope ZCatalog and Indexes.
        It currently implements an Index which uses an SQL database as external storage.
        It allows to query a Zope Catalog with a combination of traditional Zope
        Catalog queries (field based, text based) and with complex queries implemented
        as SQL methods.
        
        By using ZSQLCatalog, it is possible to develop a whole system with an object
        oriented approach and forget about external relational databases yet provide
        to users the usual experience of SQL queries.
        
        This Zope product was implemented as a subproject of the ERP5 project in
        order to add complex queries to the Zope Object Database without using
        an external database for attributes storage.
        
        It is currently much of a "proof-of-concept" which needs to be extended.
        Future versions will include greater flexibility and will implement relations.
