I'm not completely sure yet. KexiDB is the most likely choice for now, I 
think. That would let me be backend agnostic, so sqlite, mysql, and 
postgresql would all be options. KPhotoAlbum and ShowImg do that, and for 
KDE 4, KexiDB may be broken out separately from KOffice. 

But that might be a heavy dependency, so perhaps using sqlite directly as an 
alternative would be good. And there are other wrappers, like litesql, for 
example, that might be an option.

And I've not poked around the Qt SQL module yet. It may be enough, by 
itself.

But I definitely don't plan to pick any one DB, if I can help it.
