You should definitely look into OpenOffice Base:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Database . It works with SQLite,
MySQL, and Postges to name a few of its connectors. It will provide an
experience similar to Access or Filemaker. You can always reuse the data in
other applications if you choose.
