How about simply keeping them in a text file and then accessing the file via FTP? Or you could simply use a Perl CGI script to store the records in a text file. I'm not convinced you require the complexity of a RDBMS. Do you need backup/recovery? ACID transactions? Declarative query language (SQL)? Query optimizer? Multiuser capability? If not, you don't need a RDBMS. If you already have one and know how to use it, then go ahead and use it, otherwise it's probably not worth the effort. Keep it simple.
