Oh, I do! ;-)
That's why I think that learning Python is Step One. It's hard to do
complex stuff like framework dev until you can think and code
fluently in the language. Fortunately, Python is probably the
quickest language to become proficient in.

Have you looked at the grid populating example on the wiki? That's a
good example of how to do it in Dabo.
In pure Python, it would be more like:
import MySQLdb
conn = MySQLdb.connect(<connect info>)
curs = conn.cursor()
count = curs.execute("select first, last, mi from people")
# Show the results
print "%s records returned" % count
print curs.fetchall()

Check out the Wiki example first, and let me know if that helps.
