SQLLite

[ChopsMIDI]

too big and complex, yet where basic SQL is a requirement

I've always liked MySQL, and continue to like the features they add to it. But if you're looking for a very basic SQL package, check out SQLLite.

It implements most of the SQL92 Standard and it is a library rather than a daemon.

Just something for those of you that don't like MySQL adding tons of features (stored Procs, triggers, etc).
