Depending on what you want to do, there are two options.
1) You can have a SQL Database and connect to it using the Jdbc Service ( https://developers.google.com/apps-script/service_jdbc ).
2) The other option, which I’ve used once earlier, is by making use of the QUERY() function. You can set the formula on a cell to the SQL like query and then read the subsequent cells.

Update after Google I/O 2012:
As you might have already noticed, Google possibly heard you and introduced ScriptDB which is better than the two options mentioned
