  Directories are cheap.

  sql/templates/database-thingy.conf
  sql/database/thingy.conf -> ../../templates/.....
  sql/thingy/database.conf -> ../../templates/...

  Soft links aren't always friendly (think editing), but they can be useful.

  I dislike having configuration files named "foo-bar".  If they're
really that separate, create a directory structure.  The schemas could
also go in there, too:

  sql/database/schemas/thingy.sql

  (If that makes sense).

  As for which comes first, the database name or the target
functionality name, I don't know.  Maybe putting all of the Postgresql,
etc. files together would make more sense than putting all of the VOIP
files together...
