PHP SQL functions without a SQL database?

I'm trying to develop a PHP-SQL site but adding SQL functionality to our site will cost us an extra $1000/year! We only need it for a minor calendar and profile function so I don't think I can convince the boss that it's worth it.

Is there a way to have a database on a website without using SQL? Maybe by accessing a set of CSV files?
This website is for an educational institution and just as they like to charge an arm and a leg for tuition, so too do they charge their departments for free stuff. That's why they're wanting to charge $1000/yr for SQL access.
