Subversion passes off security to its servers. If you use Apache httpd (you don't specify), you can use whatever Apache configurations to do user access. The two most common is LDAP (which can connect to your Windows Active Directory server) and using a text based httpasswd to generate a user password file. I have not seen this with SQL, and I couldn't imagine why you'd want to use something so complex for something so simple -- unless you already store users in a SQL database.

If nothing else, you could have a crontab that would build the svn_access_file via a SQL query that runs it through httpasswd.

There is some information from Oracle on this, but I have never seen it done, and Apache httpd's documentation doesn't have specific directions.
