Sounds like exactly the sort of thing I would use Python for.

I have no sort of particular knowledge on this, but I think size may
play a part.  If you have lots of records (pardon the pun ;o) then a
proper database based system will be probably be more efficient.

The problem I see with flat text is that you would need to parse it, but
that isn't all that hard...

I hope that helps a little,
