Hi Ramon, What you describe is data-defined styling - taking the symbology options from a db field.
In QGIS you can use this for label settings, like font-family, font-color, position, styles, etc. - unfortunately this is not available for the simpler task of styling polygons or lines. It would be very useful to have this data-defined styling also for general symbology options. Also the stroke-width would be a natural candidate for data-defined styling. Sorry for not being of better help.
