F/OSS Flat-File Database?
Leemeng writes "I'm looking for a simple, free, and F/OSS flat-file database program. I'm storing info about Wi-Fi access points that I come across, maybe 8-9 fields per entry. I've outgrown Notepad. This info is for my own reference only; it is not going on a Web server. Googling was unhelpful, with results skewed towards SQL, Access (MS), and Oracle, all of which would be overkill for my purposes. My criteria are: it must be simple, F/OSS, must work in Windows Vista, preferably use a portable format, must not be an online app, and must not require Java. Does such a beast exist?"
Since the majority of the comments so far have pointed at SQLite, I'm kind of surprised that the post didn't come "from the sqlite dept." :)

Great. Now I'm going to have to call Red Hat and tell them their profits aren't real. I always hate to make that call. Just last week I had to tell Steve Ballmer that chair!=discus||frisbee. He was pissed.

Why mess about with filty batchfiles, bashscripts and clunky sqlite, mysql. How about a full Oracle Database 11g Enterprise? o;)
Such foolishness. Imagine a program which exists for the intent purpose of solving math equations interpreting 703-555-5555 as just such an equation. Next someone's going to say that you shouldn't be using Excel as a database. Crazy talk I tell ya'!
no he didn't. he came here for abuse.
Abuse is down the hall, room 164a, I think.
