The above quote only applies to mxODBC Zope DA 1.0.x.

In mxODBC Zope DA 2.0.x we have changed the logic to have the
Zope DA write all messages to the standard Zope event log file.

In Plone, you will find this file in

C:\Plone\var\log\instance.log

(Plone changes the Zope defaults in its configuration of instances)
