Hi All

Is there an open source database that would be useful for a desktop
application?  The equivalent database in Windows would be the Jet Engine,
such as you get with MDAC_TYP.EXE.  

I have briefly looked at products such as MySql, but I was hoping to avoid
the "server" type of database.  I was after something that was more along
the lines of a simple API to a more or less embedded database.  JBuilder has
such a feature, but the last time I looked at, it was about $100/seat.   I
saw an advert that suggested MySql 4.0 might do what I want, but when I look
for further documentation, I can only find stuff from a server point of
view.

Regards
