As long as there's no requirement *beyond* "the config must be in the
database" and you're willing to play it way more dirty than quick,
slipping a "COPY (SELECT * FROM NagiosCfgAsAHugeString) TO
'/usr/local/nagios/etc/gargantuan.cfg'" SQL command (PostgreSQL 8.2 and
later) into the code *right* before Nagios accesses the config files
sounds very much possible within the week. *Editing* the config in the
future promises to be a bear, though ...

Serious, no strings like "hosts must be taken from the existing
inventory table" or "authenticate users and passwords per SAP's staff
registry within the DB" or somesuch attached?

Kind regards,
