Looking for a small subset of tracks in SQL

Hello, first of all I would like to thank you for the documentation and release of your API it is great. I have been using your API to make a little program in PHP that uses the analyzer tools to retrieve pitch information and generate new parameters based on my musical theory knowledge to find new patterns within the information. I can now generate a few new parameters from each track and wanted to apply it for data mining. I now need to gather sufficient track information to try out some data mining. I would like to state that as of now I have not saved any information from any track onto a database of my own, concerned that this might be a violation of your policies. I found out about the Million Song Dataset that used your track information and downloaded that to try and implement my parameters but it is in HDF5 format and seems like to manipulate it my whole project needs to be moved to Python. I was wondering whether someone would be kind enough to direct me to a link if someone knows about one of a relational database file (e.g., SQL, CSV. A randomly selected subset of tracks like the 10,000 on the MSD would be more than enough for now)?

Thank you for your time and any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Also, if it is not against policies to gather a collection of, for example, a thousand track information and add my new parameters to them in an SQL format on my local computer then please let me know. In the meantime I will restrain myself from doing anything of the sort.

Regards

X.A.
