Vala has bindings for sqlite so no problem there. See 
https://live.gnome.org/Vala/BindingsStatus for the full list of what's 
included in the standard package.

Integrating C code with Vala is very easy. Just write you C code in 
normal .c files and manually write a myhacks.vapi file for the API you 
need to integrate and pass '--pkg myhacks' to valac. I use this a lot 
and it works very well.

Cheers,

PS: If we need to get further into Vala I suggest moving this discussion 
to the vala list :-)
