SpatiaLite
(via)SQLite is a popular DBMS, simple, robust, easy to use and really lightweight
each SQLite database is simply a file; you can freely copy it, compress it, send it on a LAN or WEB with no complication at all
They are also portables; the same database file will work on Windows, Linux, MacOs etc
the SpatiaLite extension enables SQLite to support spatial data too [aka GEOMETRY], in a way conformant to OpenGis specifications
