It's kinda funny.  Back in 2006 I needed to create an app with SQL but on a 
local machine.  MySQL was too big for the simple app, so, I wanted something 
without a server.  So, I actually searched on "serverless SQL engine", and 
BOOOM!, sqlite.org came up.  Now you want to take that away from me. :-)
