You might want to check SQLite (http://www.sqlite.org/). It's an 
embedded SQL database with a lot of users. Android OS is one of it's 
highest profile users and you can find more big names here 
http://www.sqlite.org/famous.html.

I haven't use it personally, but I have a few dev friends that are quite 
picky about the software they use and they seem to like it.
