I briefly considered using a SQL server, like MySQL or PostgreSQL, but that would seem to be overkill, so I am considering building my database with Awk or SQLite.

Either way, I am going to be learning something new, as I am not real familiar with either Awk or SQL.

I’ll keep my eyes open. I can’t say that I’ve seen many CLI applications that use databases, but it seems like the few that I remember rely on outside structures to maintain them.

I have a collection I want to manage but I can’t decide what to use.
