On android, your application can use an SQLite database.

See the following pages, for more explanations :

• Using Databases
• SQLiteDatabase

If you are writing a native Symbian application then check the below given link.

And if you are writing an app for Symbian using J2ME then you can use RMS

If you are familiar with SQL, in Symbian rather than using the (rather old) Database Example above, you might consider the newer SQL interfaces which are easier to work with:

For Android, there's only one best way to go: SQLite.

If you're not storing much data there are alternatives, e.g. single file text based storage, user preferences stores, ... as appropriate.
