As well as the postgres/mysql plugins

I'm looking specifically for something that "just works" as far as the user is concerned, without the need to install any product except my app.

Single user database: SQLitePluginPro, hands down. More than fast enough for most needs, and uses the RBDB API, which is a plus in my book.

Multiuser database: Well, nothing's going to "just work" for that. The user will have to install something. Although I haven't played with it enough to offer an opinion about its speed, SQLite Server looks promising. For industrial-strength, multiuser stuff, you can't beat PostgreSQL and pgSQL4RB in my book. I've built several solutions on them and I'm planning several more very soon.
