I have been searching high and low for an embeddable database engine
that comes with its C++ source, that can support multiple tables per
database file. That's about as fancy as I need. It can be single-user
for local storage. The specs seem so simple to fill, but I just cannot
find something that fits the bill. My budget is $500.

You might look at this bit of freeware.

We have no experience with it, and can't speak to it's quality or
usefulness.

If you can live with C, and your platform is Linux, you can try db.linux,
which is an open-source variant of RDM (ex dbVISTA), branched in 2000. RDM
has continued to evolve; db.linux has not but will surely meet your modest
needs. The open source license restricts its use to Linux, though. See

It has long fallen into the "looks interesting; if I ever have a C++
project..." category.

I thought that one had disappeared entirely. Thanks for the
pointer...

Have a look at SQLite: http://www.sqlite.org
Open source, C++ interface, multiple platforms, many wrappers for
other languages, ...

I was going to mention it; but, it's written in C, though you can call
the routines from C++, though. If OP is interested in shell interface
to SQLite database, then try
http://freshmeat.net/projects/bashdiff/
by yours truly.

sorry, I confused "C++ interface" with "C++ wrapper" ;)

Sorry, I had confused the expression "C++ interface" with
"C++ wrapper" ;)

BTW: a command-line tool is already included in the package. no
need to install bash/cygwin stuff on windows ....

Yes, my intent was not to replace 'sqlite' command line client. But,
make it easy to move data in/out, by using shell array variables to hold
the data. Stdout is okey on console, but a bit of hassle to script
because you have parse and re-parse what SQL engine gives you in the
first place.
