I always used postgresql and just did standard SQL queries, until I
wrote a python front-end.  

Good way to learn SQL?

Before that, I just used a plain-text file.  Each record is a paragraph,
separated by blank lines.  Use standard / to search in less or vim.

I suppose the best tool depends on the number of contacts and the type
of queries you wan to make.
