In the Book "Advanced Perl Programming" (O'Reilly)
 Sriam Srinivasan introduces a Module called Adaptor.
The module is perl only, so it should work on a mac.
It is an frontend to store objects with two backends:
a file based one and a sql based dbi one.
You can start to write with a file based backend on a mac
and when the thing gets to big you move to DBI with ODBC on NT. 
The module is object oriented, so it may match your problem better than 
SQL.
The Code of the Module is ailable at O'Reilys Website.

Sriam Srinivasan also explains how to use the dbi module, so this book
may be a good investment for you.
