I use BBDB for contact management. I dont think it's fit for what I want for dvd collections. I'll take a look at edb. In fact I wanna use some kind of text file. Just I need things more than bare text file. Folding, searching, and template insertion. Something like Org mode. Just Org mode is not naturally fit for my purpose. So I ask for if there is proving solution. I explain something more about need of template. Say I need record movie name, release year, director, actors etc. I wanna some key binding to insert these automagically, and fill the values then. The coolest thing I can imagine is Emacs solution with sqlite3 as backend. If someone can write a sqlite3 front end in Emacs, it'll bring unfathomable potential. Say for example, BBDB can use it to store data in a sqlite3 db.
