To quote another post from today:

If you are used to using SQL databases and want a local solution then 
SQLite or Valentina might serve you well.  Neither require any extra 
setup from the user.

Card databases can work for storage but if you are used to the 
relational db model then you might run into some limitations 
depending on your needs.  You can get altSQLite from 
<http://www.altuit.com/webs/altuit2/altSQLiteCover/default.htm> and 
Valentina from <http://www.paradigmasoft.com>.
