Thanks to a stupid buggy version of Horde, I accidently replied as a 
new thread.
I', sorry for that, if it's possible, I'd like to ask someone to delete that
message. Thank you.

Ok, I have, right now, a product that gets some author info from a MS 
SQL Server
database and allows me to extend the "harmless" properties I want to expose to
personalise_form, author and the like. I can now also customize these forms to
suit my whims.

Still, I have some additional information I want the user to edit (mostly, an
editable field in which the user can add whatever info they find 
useful), but I
don't want to (can't, really) store it in the database (read only 
access). So, I
was thinking of storing the additional info in the ZODB. Is that possible
(having some ingo in an external data source and the rest in the ZODB)? Where
can I map the extra property so that author and such can access it?

Also, on a secundary note, I'd like to be able to override the standard 
queries
that are applied by ZSQLRelayDA, but I can't seem to find them. Are they
supplied by some lower level product? Is there something in PAS that 
"tells" it
how to manage any DB adapter and instantly adds those queries?

Thanks for all your help so far.
