You have two options:
1. Use the perl-exim integration, and write Perl scripts (probably using
DBI) to access your data from SQL
2. Work out some way of getting your SQL data into LDAP and use Exim's
native ldap lookups.
I have experience using #2 (the backend was Oracle), and it worked quite
nicely. I am under the impression that while option #1 is infinitely
flexible, it has a certain performance penalty attached as Exim has to
invoke a perl interpreter for each incoming message. Others may be able to
clarify this for you.
