It depends exactly on what you want to do.

Making GnomeCard use an SQL server should be relatively simple, 2-3
days of hacking.

Making GnomeCal be distributed is different.  Exactly what do you want
to do in a database-centric fashion?

The plans we have for GnomeCal are:
    
    1. Split the GUI from the store
    2. Provide access to the store without using the GUI.
    3. Make GnomeCal use the iCalendar standard (as well as the
       current vCal).
    4. Make GnomeCal talk iMIP/iTIP to support network-based
       scheduling.
    5. Implement iCAP to enhance the appointment setup GUI.

But I do not understand exactly what you are looking for.

This specific hack should be simple.  Could you tell me in detail what
you need?

This list is ok.
