Insert my vote for SQLite as well. There are some very nice cocoa wrappers 
for the lib available at 
http://www.webbotech.com/ (QuickLite is a really cool product)
there's also this alternative thing but I haven't checked to see if it's 
at all decent:

I recommend QuickLite, in any event.

Yes, I think it would be nice if GWorkspace would test and see if the 
filesystem supported such a feature (it would have to be at runtime, 
though, because packagers may not have EA support enabled in their 
filesystem while deployed workstations could.
