Simply on the basis that as a full-featured RDBMS it is a very complex bit of kit and vastly over-specified for this particular requirement. And Paradigma don't promote it as an embedded engine on their website: they focus on the speed. Paradigma themselves say that data corruption can occur if the host computer crashes:

Crashing is a not-unusual occurrence on Windoze! An RDBMS designed for embedded use would use a technique such as journaling to self-recover from such a crash.
Paradigma does not promote Valentina as embedded product because the use and thus "level of embedding" is dependent on the programming environment: in many Valentina is used as a shared library (i.e. Rev) or as a plugin (i.e. RB). It is truly embedded for people using C++.
