Hi,

I know little of databases under linux, but pbrown suggested using db a few
msgs ago.

    DB is used to maintain the entire RPM database on a running system, which I 
    would consider a "medium-weight" database.  It is more than capable for
    the task.

As he also mentioned, it comes with glibc.

Good luck.  I'm following this project with much interest.
