A recutils databas= e with a possibility of selecting, inserting and updating records from org = is one possibility.

Let me play around with these = tools a bit and see what they are like.

Although org is fantastic, it is sometimes worth considering other tools (and with babel, these can often be brought into the org sphere of
activity easily).=C2=A0 For instance, GNU recutils [1] might suit you
better.=C2=A0 There's even an emacs mode [2].

Just my 2=C2=A2.
