Depending on how you want to do it, Gigabase *is* easy to integrate in any
C++ program, and doesn't make your program require stuff like MySQL be
configured and running.

You can find more about it
here: http://www.ispras.ru/~knizhnik/gigabase.html

On the other hand, you *could* use kdb. That should make your program
database independent eventually, exceot that it will require SOME SQL
database to be running.
