Database Engine with Following Features

Hi all,

Is there a database engine which provides the following features?

-Large database support (>2GB, hopefully no limit)
-Regular Expression Support (Very important)
-Embeddable into a VB.NET or C# application (optional I guess)
-Small (5 - 10MB tops, even MySQL 4.0 is a tad large)
-Cheap would be nice, as I am programming a freeware app

Thanks!

Just found firebird myself. Seems to do almost everything I wanted except
for the regular expression support. But that's OK - I guess I can fudge
RegEX in software.

Thanks for the info!
