I'd strongly suggest that you write code in some high level language to
pull it from the database and write config files for nagios. I've used
this approach in the past with a fair amount of success. It has the
benefit of being much simpler, both to maintain and to upgrade.

If you absolutely must pull it live from the database, you'll want to
look at some of the existing broker modules for how to hook into the
core and all that sort of thing, but I really don't envy you the task -
you'll need to learn the psql API, the nagios event broker API, write
all sorts of fairly hairy code to cast one set to another set, and
finally get working callbacks to get nagios to reload for every update
to the database.

Good luck,
