If not, then i can still create the GUI and the responses to create a text file using RAW: to send the result file to a server location and the i create a C# app to run every minute which reads that text file to do all the back end stuff for me

I think someone made a SQL Lite plugin around here some place might be helpful

Sqlite is typically for local data, and i don't know of one for agk, only dbpro.

You definitely don't want to hammer a file system or poll for a text file.

Use the http web request commands to communicate with a web server.

The server can implement the database handling and pass the results back to the app.

Is this a windows server or linux?
Sql server or mysql?

Exactly what the user above mentioned. Using http communications will allow you to pass data from AppGameKit to http to server side script such as php, asp.net, etc to sql dB.

LAMP is probably the most popular open source setup. Linux Apache MySQL PHP.
