In that case then what you want is a RESTful interface to a simple database. CouchDB is a tiny document database with an HTTP restful interface and simple management interface all done in a web browser on your local machine. Using any language or tool that can use simple HTTP GET/PUT commands, you can construct a dataset and read from it. Javascript, Python, Ruby, PHP, even curl can do this right now for you. With CouchDB and Javascript you can create a database with a simple interface all in HTML. Here is a little intro: http://guide.couchdb.org/draft/tour.html here is the RESTful api documentation: http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/ OR LibreOffice base, which has it's own database format, you can also connect to various other databases including SQLite (using an ODBC driver).
