Agree with Thaddy.
For local, filebased, server-less Databases SQLite is the premier DB, with Firebird as a far away second

Depend on the complexity of your application.

Sqlite is fast and simple but do not support stored procedure and integrity constraint.

Only suitable for simple database operation.

I would choose Firebird instead for long run development.

Each database has its own advantages and disadvantages:

TDBF
No client lib and easy to use. But may have a potential license issue:

SQLite
Release in public domain license but it has its own disadvantages:

Firebird Embedded
Can be upgraded to work in client-server environment but the installation is a bit challenging:
