Embedded in what way? I use Firebird on occasion as an alternative to 
PostgreSQL (i.e. in a client-server scenario), but I'd have thought for 
a single-system application SQLite would have been worth a look.

Having said that, apart from Firebird's poor documentation I've had no 
significant problem querying and updating tables. What exactly are you 
trying to do?
