We do that regularly (using both MySQL and Postgres).

In our architecture (Zope on fast modern Linux frontend,
database on slow solaris backend servers),
a standard database request takes between 2 and 10 ms.

Thus, database access is not without costs but it does
not cost much.

You can use (the various forms of) caching to reduce
these costs further...
