    Could you elaborate on that? Should I be exploring dbm files?

      No! You must use PostgreSQL. It is the only way! ;-)

      Repeat after me: PostgreSQL is good... PostgreSQL is good...

        PostgreSQL is good... PostgreSQL is good...

        hope it helps my karma ;-)

      Should I be exploring dbm files?

      Yes, you should explore them. I don't think that they will prove to be the best choice in your situation though. They aren't relational and your data seems to imply that flexibility in accessing it should be a requirement. Just the same, a DBM would probably be better than your current scheme. It would also be relatively easy to implement.
