I recommend finding some program that uses SQLite for its storage, as you should 
be able to read or modify those on any platform for a long time.  SQLite is the 
most deployed SQL DBMS in the world, with like a billion or more deployments. 
It is embedded and its file format is portable. -- Darren Duncan
