If you really want to go Open Source and these guys aren't going to be
editing the data, I'd suggest using the web. You can write your web
pages in almost any language-- PHP, Perl/CGI, Python/CGI, or use Zope or
something similar (though that's likely overkill).
You can run PostgreSQL or MySQL on the back end, update it yourself, and
provide forms written in the above languages for querying, etc. All the
above languages have interfaces to both the above SQL back ends.
