I am building a game in jMonkey (Java) and I have so far only used default quest text. But now I need to start populating a lot of quests with text. My design requires A LOT of quests texts.

What is the best way to build a database of quest texts in jMonkey? I don't have a lot of real experience with databases. Is there a database that integrates well with jMonkey?

Here are the ideal properties I want in my database, in order of priority:

  1. Reasonably light learning curve
  2. Easy portability (in Java) to Windows, Linux, and Mac OSX
  3. Good interface with Java
  4. Good interface with jMonkey
  5. The ability to add properties to the quests: ID, level, gender, quest chain ID, etc.

Or am I wrong in thinking I need to use some giant monster like SQL? I haven't been able to find much information on this, so are people using some non-database methods for storing things like quest text in jMonkey?
