Hi :) It sounds like you need to use Base for this. Base is best as a decent database front-end and then have it reading/writing the data securely in a decent back-end such as, well it depends on roughly how much data you think you are going to generate. MySql/MariaDb and Postgresql are very hefty and probably far larger than you will need.
There is some documentation about using Base http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications but it's a bit of a work-in-progress.
