 there are drivers for xbase/xbsql (which isn't client/server, but has
 limited sql functionality compared to postgres and mysql). IIRC, I had to
 compile using pkgs from rekallrevealed as the official debs were too old
 (or didn't work, or I was having a bad day <g>). I'm currently running
 sarge. While it's true that Rekall is just a gui frontend, the xbase
 db is accessed directly, so is trivial to set up.

and someone has contributed a driver for SQLite, but I'm unclear if it's
libre (assuming so...the driver, that is)
