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.
