my new project, is this the right way?

[Tracubik]

Hi all,
i'm developing a new program.
Mission: learn a bit of database management
Idea: create a simple, 1 window program that show me a db of movies i've 
seen with few (<10) fields (actors, name, year etc) 
technologies i'll use: python + gtk
db: that's the question

since i'm mostly a new-bye for as regard databases, my idea is to use 
sqlite at the beginning.

Is that ok? any other db to start with? (pls don't say mysql or similar, 
they are too complex and i'll use this in a second step)

is there any general tutorial of how to start developing a database? i 
mean a general guide to databases you can suggest to me?
Thank you all

P.s. since i have a ods sheet files (libreoffice calc), is there a way to 
easily convert it in a sqlite db? (maybe via csv)
