That's not quite the case. Cadence provides "ITK DB" (Integrator's ToolKit) which is a C-level API to access the database. Within such code, there is a some _limited_ support for calling SKILL (this is to allow pcell code to be evaluated, for example), but it's constrained to "pcell-safe" SKILL functions (i.e. the SKILL functions that are legal within pcells - those which are core SKILL, db, dd, tech, cdf and rod functions).
Such ITK applications are standalone applications - they're primarily intended as a means of writing interfaces to the database (which also be done with OpenAccess in OA-enabled versions). They are not linked in with the main Virtuoso executables.
Regards,
Andrew.
