I guess it's like using Perl's DBI (Database Interface)?
You have one API for a range of backends. That's what I used and first I 
used Mysql on the server, then SQLite on the desktop (Mysql was not 
easy or stable under a Windows desktop at the time) and did not have to 
change any code for DB access.

I doubt you'll actually notice which DB backend is being used on the 
desktop, unless you network the DB and several people access it at 
once? Performance should be near the same.
