Text Based databases

  I am trying to implement a departmental database that would
  be used for maintaining student, staff, course, accounts
  and other information.

  This is to be implemented under unix (SunOS).  Most users
  of this database would also require to manipulate information
  using the standard unix filters such as awk, grep and sed.
  Hence the data files would need to be standard ascii text files
  with no control information (other than field delimiters) in it.

  Does any one know of such a product (or something similar).  If
  any sources are available (public domain), it would save me a
  lot of trouble.

  Thanks in advance. Please address your replies to
