I really wish there was something like sqlite to replace MS Access - actually I think what I really want is something to replace MS Excel that isn't MS Access.

I really wish there was something like sqlite to replace MS Access - actually I think what I really want is something to replace MS Excel that isn't MS Access. The ability to have a self contained file based database that can be moved around and shared, but that can also hook up to external data sets has a lot of use cases in enterprises. But it would require a good query view, the ability to create forms and reports, and have a sane sql dialect.
