I'm starting to develop some core mozilla data storage bits, backed by
sqlite 3.. part of this is a "light" xpcom-y binding for sqlite, as
well as richer/easier to use interfaces for clients that don't want to
use SQL directly (RDF, for example). This is not "near term" stuff
though, maybe a few months out for something usable; if you need just
simple access to a local database, you can probably do it through the
sql extension (that someone pointed out earlier), or just write a thin
binding to sqlite.
