My setup is that I have my Kodi DB on my NAS in a MySQL DB with multiple Kodi devices sharing the DB.
It’s not apparent to me how to have Sonarr update the MySQL DB directly (without Kodi running). It looks like the Kodi Connector is designed to talk to Kodi (which would update the DB). However my devices power down when not in use so I can’t be sure a Kodi instance would be running. Can the Kodi Connector talk to the MySQL DB directly?
Correct.
No, you could write a custom script to do whatever you like though.
Thanks @markus101 for your reply. 
Given more and more people are using shared Kodi DBs via a NAS this might might a worthwhile feature to have. I’ll have to come up with another plan.
I don’t know what your NAS is capable of, but you could consider running Kodi headless on it. Presumably your NAS is always on so you can have sonarr talk to that instance to perform updates.
I played around with a docker container (https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/kodi-headless/) on my Synology.
That’s a great idea @Thirrian. I’m running a Synology 218J which doesn’t support Docker by default. However I’m thinking I might have to fix that 
I got a Raspberry pi running that updates my mysql library,
Low powered uses like 10 bucks a year.
