Yes, a database backend is planned (probably by using libgda which gives transparent support for different backends, mysql, postgreSQL and possibly others). What I'm unsure of is that when you work in this mode. Do you want your changes to be written back directly (you change something in the UI and it's updated on the database directly). Or do you want something like "save" or "update database" instead. If you want the first, it's harder to implement, if you want the second it's a piece of cake.
