A quick hunt revealed a GIS extension for SQLite called Spatialite.

As a a persistence layer, you can't beat SQLite. It's so easy to exchange the
DBs between users (for training exercises: make a new DB before the exercise,
record into it during the operations, and then send it to other groups for
debrief/training).
I agree there are performance issues when sharing an SQLite DB.
