database engine

hello

I am looking for a database engine that meets these requirements:

1. Provides an API that does not require passing commands as strings which are then parsed at runtime.
2. Runs in the same process as the client application. It's just a library.
3. Is under 600kb in size.

If nothing like this exists, I will write a minimal special purpose one for the bbs in r6rs scheme or common lisp.

Offence not taken. But yeah, learn to make functions and triggers. You can automate most of the work on SQLite, and use Scheme for the scripting. I am just shocked that you did not even bother to search "Small[/Lite] Database" and could not find SQLite. It is the first result in the mayor search engines, even distributed ones.

Ah the days when BBS where starting out. Those where the days. mewBBS is still alive lol:
