Without knowing what their project actually looks like, just based on
that description, the thing that springs first to my mind is tellico.
It's a collection-management program, and while its predefined
"collection of what?" categories probably don't cover what your friends
need, it's allegedly extensible with custom collection-type definitions.

It's not strictly a database, but for a sufficiently simple type of
collection inventory it's good enough, and the UI is better than any
full database solution I've personally encountered. (Which, to be fair,
is not saying particularly much.)

Personally I'd be happier if there were an option to have it use a
database backend instead of an XML backend, but nothing I've used it for
has ever gotten big enough for that to become a concern.
