Yes, i dont use SQL, i have only one CS 1.6 server now, i not need it.
I have only one gg_ map in the mapcycle, i use custom maps, and i write a little extra stuff to gungame (map objectives are enabled - bomb, hostages, etc.-, and the members of winner team get bonus points)
I have a waypoint pack with more than 3000 maps, if you need it you can download it
