How do you plan to execute homology search against SQL database?

BioRuby can parse the result of BLAST, FASTA etc. commands
and these are usually performed for the FASTA formated sequence file.
I think some of these programs support to run against SQL database directly,
but I have never tried by myself.
If the result formats are same in both way (flatfile DB and sql DB),
you can use BioRuby parser to extract % similarity.
