Obviously it does have database access, but it doesnt say what type, engine, 
etc..

It's not their size, its that there doesnt appear to be a client-side driver.  
I don't want the overhead of having to bundle/install/manage an 
out-of-process DBMS with a simple app that only needs 2 or 3 small tables.  
Again, connectivity is not the problem..

Yes, I've considered Python.  However due to speed requirements and 
proprietary code it needs to be compiled and most likely C++.
