I don't really see the problem. With Dovecot the quota format must be in
such a special format ("maildir:storage=1024") that you can't use just
one number field from SQL directly anyway.

And this is all internal Dovecot configuration and the same thing is
done even if the quota backend isn't Maildir++, so Maildir++ spec is
irrelevant here.
