Another thing I discovered to be on the mac is PostgreSQL which is a very powerful SQL oriented database. I discovered the related binaries to be available from the terminal but the server isn't running by default. I intend to investigate this further in the near future. Only thing here is you would probably need to run queries from the shell. This might be too big a tool for your simple needs. From what you described, you would probably only be using a single table and perhaps the previously recommended packages would suit you fine.
