Regarding: ...though I am ultimately interested in having my product work natively on Linux....
Then I'm even more out-of-my-league here, but there's a free beta-ish JDBC wrapper for SQLITE at: http://www.ch-werner.de/javasqlite/overview-summary.html and Linux OpenOffice supports JDBC: http://www.openoffice.org/product/dbase.html Under OpenOffice, you can define queries somewhat like the Access GUI method: http://www.openoffice.org/product/pix/dbase-big.png or use SQL. If that combination worked, any chance it would be just what you're looking for?
