For embedded dbms's, you can get bindings for gdbm, dbm, sqlite.
Maybe you could use a client server after all. E.g., you could set up
postgresql so that only a particular user on the local box can access
the database. In terms of access authorization this is equiv of an
embedded dbms.
For "most maintained", mysql and postgresql would be hard to beat in
client/server space. For embedded dbms's, I'd guess Berkeley DB would
be the winner (http://www.sleepycat.com/)
