Hi,

check the section on ZSQL in the Zope Book to understand how ZSQL works
but I suggest you proceed as follows.
Pass your form into a PythonScript to run checks pretty much like this:

request = context.REQUEST

for item in request.form.keys():
validate(item)

if no_errors:
context.SQL.someZSQLMethod(dictionary_of_items)
return context.thank_you_page()

else:
return context.error_page()
