I also have the caveat that I would never use a proprietary database. If you could show that it was faster or more portable than sql-lite, maybe because you didn't have to make the hop to C, then maybe it would be useful. But I don't see why this would be an improvement over just using SQLite bindings, if you had the kind of problem SQLite solves.
If you wanted to run the same code on the server as on the client, not having to change your interface would be useful. But most cases where you're running code in a browser and also want to run it on the server, you don't want to be using SQLite on the server. A better solution would be to allow users to write their own persistence layer, and provide adapters for all the mainstream db's.
