Sure. You can pull SFSQL features from PostGIS (postgis.refractions.net) and 
OracleSpatial. You can also pull pseudo geometric data from MySQL 3.6 using 
BLOBs to store your data. PostGIS and Oracle both have spatial indexes, so 
they can scale to very large data sets. The 3.6 MySQL hack does not.
