Unless you need something very complex, one of the most versatile
ways of handling simple database functions is with some simple
scripts and standard UNIX tools to search, format and output data
records.  A lot can be done with

cat database | grep search_string > format_script

Add a dash of TCL/TK and you can really get cooking on the I/O side
of things.
