VT100 FreeBSD spreadsheet with data manipulation connections

I'm looking for a "command-line" (VT100) FreeBSD spreadsheet that has
data manipulation connections.

That is: other applications can edit the spreadsheet (via some API),
and the spreadsheet can run commands when cells are edited.

My goal: create a VT100 spreadsheet-like interface to sqlite3 (and
maybe other dbs).

One that I have used off and on for years is ``sc''.  It's
simple, and stores data in fairly simple ascii files.

Does sc have 'hooks' that let it read cell values from other
applications and/or run commands when a cell value is updated?
