My "embedded" equipment is an automated store servicing a production 
line, so it has to keep track of what's inside it and to what's coming 
down the line to service it.
Granted, it doesn't need that many records (1000 more or less[*]), but 
why do I have to reinvent a database when sqlite already offers it and 
it's fully ACID.
Besides, call me lazy, but the databases components are extremely 
convenient and saves you from writing a lot of code when you want to 
present and edit your data in a tabular form.
In fact, at times I used an sqlite database just as a configuration file 
for the sheer convenience of using the database components.

[*]I won't make names, but the company where I deploy it would use an 
oracle database for that.....
