I like SQLLite and have used it in several projects. It works just as well 
in C# .NET with

using Microsoft.Data.Sqlite;

as in C with

#include "sqlite3.h"

allowing both to use the same data.  I do like that it's public domain 
like most free software was before Stallman. otoh PostgresSQL is more 
powerful and has a permissive license.

After all, the SQLite developers ask "What would Postgres do?" 

There are a couple of other worthwhile projects like Python :)
