Here it is for SQLLite:  http://www.sqlite.org/omitted.html
Main areas that may bite us (i owuld think):
        -You can't drop a column (really annoying for schema updates)
        -No foreign key constraints (not a killer for us, but it means no ON 
DELETE 
CASCADE or UPDATE anywhere)
But at least it has decent support for transactions, and some trigger support 
which is probably the only "advanced" features we would care about.

MySQL (5+ using innodb) has fixed many of it's chronical shortcomings, an now 
has "reasonnalbe" support for transactions, and just got triggers.  MySql 
won't be a problem, especially considering SQLLite's limitations.

Postgresql has support for everything and the kitchen sink.
