I've brought it up to date just now.

Having said that, its performance may or may not be any better than the 
HTTP plugin.

The LDAP plugin that ships with RabbitMQ, if LDAP counts as a database. 
That has the advantage of being rather more actively maintained.

It would certainly be possible to write a SQL based plugin. I don't 
really have time to do that right now, but (CCing the mailing list) if 
anyone is interested in writing a simple plugin, that might be an 
interesting and not too hard project.

Cheers, Simon
