(http://www.sleepycat.com/) which is a full-fledged SQL relational
database used, among others, as the basis for SubVersion, and the
plain unix DBM files (the closest refference I could find is the GNU implementation at http://www.gnu.org/software/gdbm/gdbm.html)
Check again and let me know which one of us got it wrong.

BTW - just to make sure people don't miss on other alternatives - there are also Berkeley DB and Firebird as good complete SQL opensource database implementations.
Just a correction - Berkeley DB is not an _SQL_ database implementation. It's not even a relational database. What it does is just map arbitrary binary keys to arbitrary binary values. You can build relational database (and theoretically SQL as well) capabilities above it, but it doesn't have it built-in.
Another thing that separates it from most other SQL servers is that it is filesystem based and not networked.
If you're looking for a relational database implementation that is not SQLed, there are several XBase (formerly dBase) implementations around. SQLite is a lightweight file-system based SQL implementation. (which isn't networked). If you're looking for something that is networked, you should look at MySQL, PostgreSQL, Firebird, MaxDB (formerly SAP-DB), or any of the other *networked* *SQL* open-source implementations, or commercial, non-OS ones like Oracle, IBM DB2 or Informix.
