In-process database is very handy when your application needs searchable 
table-type data store. By using the database you get flexibility and 
save time on coding your own data structures at the expense of ~200K (or 
whatever it is -- check the manual) of database code and some slowdown 
(compared to search code optimized for your application) from sql 
interpreter.

That is quite different from using the database for persistent storage 
or for searchable storage of very large amounts of data. (They aren't 
mutually exclusive, though.)
