database software

I've been looking for such a thing for years without much luck.  Of course
there is MySQL and the web interface to go with it, but that seemed way
too complicated to me.  There is also the "recutils" package which is
command line only, but I didn't like it either.  I ended up using PC-File
for DOS which does exactly what I want.  It was shareware but has been
made free by the author.  I don't think you can register now anyway.  The
problem with it is that it's designed for low memory usage so it can't
hold 50,000 records which is what I need.  The recutils package can, but
it uses flat files and seems slow.  There is also SQLite Browser, but it
seems to require X.  I think recutils is only in Wheezy.
