If you need low admin requirements, solid performance, the comfort of strong schema enforcement, ACID compliance, great flexibility for single user and multi user, and a strong track record of support, I would go with Firebird. Oh, and it is free of licensing costs for any use.
If you like proprietary solutions that can end up costing a lot if you end up needing to scale, I would look at MS SQL Server. They have done a major amount of work in the last few versions. Huge investment. Lots of options (most cost $). Stay away from MySQL. Weak offering that is only getting weaker in comparison to alternatives. If you want just local storage, look at SQLite.
