The expression "Embedded Database" requires an explanation.
A "database" is an application that allows the targeted retrieval of stored data -- a log-file is not a database.
By "embedded" I mean a database that does not run in a separate process, but instead is directly linked ("embedded") into the application requiring access to the stored data.
