Hmmm, i did not realise there are no package made for this application.

you can type the following to get the content of the archive:

tar xvzf sqlite3sg-2.0.1.tar.gz

It seems this is not fully polished yet, so i'm not sure it will fit your need.
There is a README file that gives some information on how to use it, but as it is not packaged you will most probably have to install several dependencies manually (sqlite3 of course, but python2.5 and glade too).

sqlite3 is like mysql but is smaller and so more adapted for small devices.

Reading a bit about sql (mysql,postgresql or sqlite) is definitively a good starting point :-)

Good luck.
