Connecting to a MS SQL from AutoCAD Civil 3D

I am looking to connect to an SQL database from AutoCAD Civil 3D 2014 to pull GNSS coordinates in real-time which will then in turn dynamically update the coordinates of an object within AutoCAD. Has anyone else tried this and would be able to give me some pointers?

 

I have managed to establish a database connection where I have an issue is how to update the geometry of an object (XYZ).

 

My database table is simple enough with data in the format of Time, Point Name, Easting(X), Northing(Y), Elevation (Z) is it possible to pass this information onto an object so it would update the position of the object?

 

The background behind the idea is to be able to have a design alignment in AutoCAD Civil 3D with offsets from the object to the design computed in real-time (or near real-time) using parametric dimensions.

 

Thanks.
