While Postgres would probably work for you, I suspect it's probably
overkill. I'll let others answer your direct question, but I want to
suggest that you take a look at SQLite as something likely closer to your
needs: <http://www.sqlite.org/>
Not saying Postgres isn't great - it is. But sometimes you need an
industrial-grade nailgun, and sometimes all you need is a hammer.
