If you go web based, I like doing things like that in php.  If you go with 
a relatively open database like SQL(expensive), MySQL, or PostgreSQL (both 
free), it doesn't prohibit you from writing different front ends (like 
windows and cocoa) in addition to a web interface.

Getting your data in a quality database with hooks for many languages is a 
different kind of step from deciding what language/interface to use to 
control that data.
