You could have a look at Codebase (www.codebase.com) - whether it 
will work 'out of the box' on your platform or not I can't say, but 
it comes with source code, and is royalty free, and is quick. We 
dumped it for SQLite because we wanted the flexibility of SQL, but 
otherwise it's a decent DB engine supporting xBASE database files.

All the involvement of SQL makes no sense in a simple embedded
application which is performing associative lookups or ISAM type access.
 Look at perhaps using DBM or its derivative or something like C-Tree or
another B-Tree method.

In mimimal applications we have used AVL trees with success.  The code
footprint is tiny, the performance lightning fast and the application
very robust.  I can give you some code if you are interested.

Simple is better.

I can recommend Berkeley DB from Sleepycat Software.  It's very high
quality, however it's not cheap to license for a commercially sold
application, and it doesn't pretend to have any relational features.

If you're just looking for a way to read key-value pairs from a
database, I have a nice little library I could share with you which sits
on top of an SQLite database.

By "the parsing" do you mean to say it is difficult to read the result
of a query?

Yes, I think that can become quite complicated.  But there are some good
recipes for doing this, including the simple one in the documentation.

You can do a lot with simple SQL statements.

Before throwing SQLite overboard, why don't you explain your problem and
see if someone here might help.

Well there's always XBase.  Old, solid, widespread.  But, I doubt XBase
will be that much different overhead, and complexity wise.

SQLite is really hard to beat for its intended purpose.  And as far as
superior implementation, I have never seen an XBase implementation that
can even come close to SQLite when it comes down to being a "Database".
