What I like about SQLite is that it uses local database files without a
server, it's very fast, and the static library is small enough to be
linked to the external (~350K), for easy distribution of projects,
including the external and the databases. For Windows, there's a SQLite 
DLL.

For simple SQL commands and data types, that's not a problem, and it
should also be possible to save audio data in a database, for example.
