I am currently investigating the use of expert systems
to advise different functional optimization
strategies for engineering design. My problem is that I am
generating a lot of data from each optimization algorithm
and I need a database/datamanager to organize, filter and
analyze the data on my Sun workstation.

I know of the PD version of Ingres but this would be overkill.
I am looking for a simple database where concurrency is not
an issue. The optimization techniques will sequentially update the 
database after each iteration. I would like to be able to select
data from different runs, perform some simple curve fitting, normalization,
etc., and then ideally graph or write out the results.

I would really appreciate any software or portions of software that can be 
provided to help me with my task. A database/datamanager is critical.
I have two college students working for me this summer and there task will
be to use any database/datamanager that I receive for my problem.
