Err... No. INI was meant to be a configuration storage, not a database solution. If you can't/won't learn SQL for some reason, there's NoSQL but I doubt there's a PAWN library for that.

INI might be for configuration system, but it can come in handy as a simple File Handler for uncomplicated systems. INI can also be used to learn the small details of File Handling before diving towards the depths of Tartarus just to get a hand in what mostly MySQL is doing... Some simply cannot understand MySQL without having a little understanding on how to manipulate data and INI saving systems can give you a little round up to do manipulation... With few twists and turns one can also create a simple, small database system with it...
Benchmarks, although shows no promising leads on a good future using INI file system with data manipulation but at least learning the ropes made MySQL a better water to dive in.
Then again a simple File System ignoring redundant data and comparing it to a Database System with redundant data shows File System handles it almost as better as Database System.
