I guess what I'll end up using is SQLite, as the poster who mentioned it said that it has an easy learning curve.
Haven't used SQLite, but I recall the learning curve for MySQL was pretty shallow. Hell, if I learned it anyone can. And if you have learned Linux then you can learn MySQL. I'm going to hazard a guess that the install base for MySQL is larger than the install base for SQLite so getting help with MySQL is probably going to be easier. I don't recall seeing very many books at the local book shop on SQLite, but there's plenty on MySQL. ...
I'm going to have to agree with Dave on this one. The learning curve for MySQL is going to be probably not much more than SQLite (I also haven't seen SQLite). Plus, if you ever need to do some powerful SQL stuff or ever want to play around with doing powerful SQL stuff, then you'll just be able to do them with MySQL. If you go with SQLite, and then you need to do some tricky types of stuff with the data, you'll probably have to port everything over to another DB. From what I understand of SQLite, that is. I hear it is sort of like MySQL in the early days. Lastly, with MySQL you'll be garaunteed to be able to speak to any important database.
