Try looking at Interbase (www.interbase.com). Interbase 6.0 beta just was
released and it is now open sourced. Don't know what license it will be
released under but I would say that this may be the future of databases
under Linux. It is fully SQL92 compliant and does everything you want a
database to do. It also takes very little resources and the database files
are cross-platform (as far as I know).
