Relational Database-type solution for data searching and storing

Thanks for all your help guys. I've made the decision to go with an RPI, connected via serial to the arduino, which is still acting as the NFC reader. I did this because I really think I do need a relational database, because there isquite a bit of different data I need to store with the tags, and I still can't figure out how to write to them.

Ill also need to do commands like, has this tag been scanned today, if so, yada yada, and so I think a relational database would be easier and faster for that. Thanks for your help anyway guys:)
