I don't understand what the problems with using an external program for such
purpose are. Simply write a 10 line long perl script where you can even
preprocess messages before they go to the database, and feed this script
with a pipe/program destination.

Adding support for pgsql/mysql/sybase/whatever into syslog-ng is bloat in my
opinion.
