Not sure how your issue relates to Zope. Zope basically only generates the
queries using ZSQL methods and returns the results back. Check if this
error also happens when you connect directly to MySQL using the standard
Pytrhon DB-API.

I'm not familiar with this part of MySQL but if a conversion is required
then you will probably need to access Python's locale functions in which
case you can't use ZSQL that easily. I don't reckon the driver is broken
but you're better off asking the question on the Mysqldb list.
