I'm looking into something similar. There are lots of DB options out there but only a few have resources for Torque; SQLite and PostgreSQL.

Search on the word "database" in the Resources section.

The questions that I am still researching are encryption of data, so players can't fiddle their scores, and cross-platform.

As Ben mentions there are a number of database resource on the site for including in your game but keep in mind that it's a slow operation accessing a database from a game engine so try and minimise it or create a seperate system to handle database reading/writing.
