By the help with the following you can convert your text database
into an SQL table.
Use  Gadfly: SQL Relational Database written in Python, in this case there
is no need to configure a server.
Search for Database / Gadfly on the page <URL:
http://www.python.org/download/Contributed.html >


For converting your text database into SQL table:

You can work on it by module string / function split() /. 
More about it in the standard documentation.

But there are CVS modules. 
The addresses were mentioned on this mailing lists:

I hope this is what you are searching for.
