I tried this. It works, but possible problem
with volatile attributes persists - it is specific to
Zope Database Adapters, and SQLRelay adapter
uses '_v_' attributes too.

Issue with 'reconnect' behaviour of SQLRelay may
be that your Zope instance will appear 'hanged'
when database is not running (or something like that)
because Zope threads will be waiting for DB response.
AFAIR there is no timeout for SQLRelay (sometimes
it is good, sometimes not). Another question
is what happens with transactions integrity
in this situation.
