[Lazarus] Embedded/small database

[Kostas Michalopoulos]

Possibly, but if there is no need to be networked then this adds extra
baggage (ie. bloat) for no reason at all. Sqlite is a tiny db designed
specifically for local use, used in a ton of places (including Firefox and
almost everything made by Apple these days) and has some of the highest
quality source code. Also it is very easy to integrate and supported
everywhere. Since it is a very common starting point, there are conversion
tools to other DBs in case it proves limiting in the future.

But all that only if the program is local.
