As mentioned before, sqlite seems like it would be a better fit.

Selected features (from their site):
      * Zero-configuration - no setup or administration needed.
      * A complete database is stored in a single disk file.
      * Database files can be freely shared between machines with
        different byte orders.
      * Supports databases up to 2 terabytes (2^41 bytes) in size.
      * Small memory footprint: less than 30K lines of C code, less than
        250KB code space (gcc on i486)
      * Faster than other popular database engines for most common
        operations.
      * Self-contained: no external dependencies.
