Personally I would stay away from MySQL Databases for greylisting.
If your intention is to have several MTAs access the same database then
maybe you should configure those MTAs to query the postgrey server at its
IP. BerkeleyDB is one of the fastest DBs out there, too. Yes, you could
also use BDB with MySQL - which again adds an unnecessary delay and point
of failure.
If you want to manage postgrey usage via MySQL then you might want to have
a look on restrictions classes and postfix' support for MySQL table lookups.
The main advance of a network-backend-less installation is: less points of
failure.
