If you are used to writing LPC, there's a fair chance that it'd be quicker
to write a SQL*Net implementation than to write these kfuns in C. I don't
know how proprietary the protocol is, but SQL and the DB functionality
shouldn't be too hard to do?

But, do you even need SQL? Do you have clients that specifically use it?
If not, DGD is a splendid database, and of course it is a simple thing to
associate searchable/indexed entries with each piece of data. If you using
SQL simply because it's easy, you may want to question this assumption.
