I'm not sure if this suits your friend's needs, but Gaby 
(http://www.theridion.com/gaby/) might do the trick. As it states on the 
site:

"Gaby is a small personal databases manager for Linux using GTK+ and Gnome (if 
available) for its GUI.

It was designed to provide straight-forward access to databases a 'normal' 
user would like (addresses, books, ...) (see the descfiles page) while 
keeping the ability to easily create databases for other needs. On a 
technical side it was designed with extensibility in mind and thus use relies 
a lot on plug-ins; and an extension language not unlike The Gimp script-fus 
is available (an embedded Python)."
