I want to use the same database as XCA use

XCA uses OpenSSL library calls for the crypto stuff and does not execute the openssl binary.

explains how to directly extract items from the database.

full command-line support

Sounds like a lot of work for me.
Is there something special you need the most? Then maybe I can add the important things first.
Script controlled CRL generation as a recurring task is implemented.

Providing (as well as parsing) all the details about a new certificate for example can be very cumbersome on the commandline.

What is your use-case

I want to create A PHP script to issue/renew/auto-renew CRTs and export them to the server.
