Choosing a standalone, SQL queryable database.

I'm developing a Perl CGI application for an Apache webserver running

     on a Solaris box, not sure of the verions of either.  The application
     will need a database, and right now we're all trying to decide what
     will be best.  We have a Sybase server available, but will need months
     of paperwork and red-tape to use it.  The same goes for installing our
     own database solution on the webserver (like mySQL) or adding a new
     server to the network.  In essence, we need a local, standalone
     database, like a flatfile or DBM kind of thing.  The problem is that
     we need to query this data, ideally with SQL.  AFAIK there is no way 
     to run SQL on flatfile/DBM since they're not relational systems.  Our
     concurrent user count is fairly low (less than 100 at a time) and the
     volume of total DB hits would be under 1000 a day.  Any suggestions of
     a standalone local database that can be SQL queried?   Thanks, Matt
