Would something like SQLite support the full functionality that we get from
PostgreSQL: subqueries, transactions, views, triggers and stored
procedures?  MySQL does not (yes I know they are adding some or all of this
but it isn't all there or proven to be reliable yet).

I will check SQLite out but MySQL is probably NOT a good option for this.
Historically it did not support subqueries (an absolute must for any serious
database user) - not sure if they have added subquery support recently or
not.
