Part of our IOC startup is to restore values before iocInit using static database utilities.  I don't know of any iocsh entries for dbStatic routines.  You can write a little utility that does something like this:

#include "dbAccess.h"
#include "dbStaticLib.h"
#include "errlog.h"

	long dbpfStatic(char   *pname,char *pvalue) {
	DBENTRY         dbentry;  
	int             status;	
	if (!pdbbase) {
		errlogPrintf("dbpfStatic: No database loaded\n");
		return -1;
	}
	dbInitEntry(pdbbase, &dbentry);	 
	if (!(status = dbFindRecord(&dbentry, pname))) 
		status = dbPutString(&dbentry, pvalue);
	dbFinishEntry(&dbentry);
	return status;
	}
