no.

if you want some RDBMS with an LDAP interface to some extent back-sql
http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/978.html or maybe penrose
http://docs.safehaus.org/display/PENROSE/Home could be used.

I don't know of any LDAP "storage" that provides an SQL view or if
this could actually work for the complex data joining you'd want
SQL. see e.g. 
http://www.openldap.org/faq/index.cgi?_highlightWords=rdbms&file=378
