sieve with database is on roadmap,as it was discussed before ,as far i
remember

info

http://wiki.dovecot.org/ManageSieve
http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/

anyway it seems there is a lot to do left
http://hg.rename-it.nl/dovecot-2.1-pigeonhole/raw-file/tip/TODO
so sql support might have to wait

but snip
----
* ## MAKE A FOURTH MAIN RELEASE (0.4.x) ##

* Implement extlists extension as a plugin
* Enotify extension: detect use of variable values extracted from the
message
  that are used in the method argument. RFC reports this as a security
issue.
* Make the sieve storage a base class with (possibly) various
implementations,
  just like mail-storage. This aims to provide support for alternate types
  of script storage like LDAP or SQL database.

looks its on the way
