Ok. I would prefer not to use the ODBC Text File Driver as the default data
source. I would see one of these lite weight DB's become a standard component
of KDE (sounds like that decision has alreday been made). Is there a consensus
on which one?

I can get a working ODBC driver together for it in one or two days and then
Mike and I can do a test with his app.... or we can simply use an existing
driver (ie MiniSQL, MySQL, Text File... ).

So what DB?
