You can use MySQL / PostgreSQL for that. For front-end you may use Kylix,
C++, or even have a php based page using local apache for data entry.
That's not exactly a 'simple database'
However, you can get a very much access-like interface, for simple or
complex use, to PostgreSQL - called pgaccess, I think.
Have you looked at SQLite (http://www.sqlite.org/)? Although I think
it's intended as a programming library, from their website "The SQLite
distribution comes with a standalone command-line access program (sqlite
<http://www.sqlite.org/sqlite.html>) that can be used to administer an
SQLite database". I haven't actually tried it myself, I just thought it
looked interesting.
