Yeah, it would be a great idea. In fact all you need to make it work is to 
find a KDE application that does this and can work as a KPart and then load 
it. However I don't know of an application like this at the time. You could 
also consider sponsoring development of this. You know we are not an 
unlimited resource and we depend on contributions of code and donations and 
sponsorship of developers to produce what we do.

Currently Michal Rudolf is back to work on Kommander. Prior to his being 
unable to continue putting in the same effort he was very close to having a 
plugin for Knoda's hk_classes ready and we will be testing it shortly. I 
wrote a dialog that would enable you to set up your connection to a database 
and access table and field lists on the fly to create SQL and insert it into 
the current cursor position. This would provide full functionality to 
Kommander dialogs, especially when the plugin is extended for Knoda widgets. 
Currently Kommander does not create Kparts, but it's on our list of things do 
to. If you'd really like something like this you should consider helping to 
sponsor it. The tools you mentioned all extract funds to run them so it 
shouldn't be too difficult.

If you're not familiar Kommander provides a user extensible interface so you 
can get a Kommander program, open it in the editor and modify it for your 
specific needs. It's full power is exposed with a point and click function 
tool similar to what you'd find in a spreadsheet like KSpread. You can find 
out about it on the kdewebdev.org site.
