SQLite isn't really meant for deployment on the web though...is it?
Because you don't need a DBMS daemon running, it's also possible to use it on hosts that don't have a database server. Plus, administration is trivial - creating and deleting files is all you need to do.
I have no idea how well it scales with concurrent readers, though.
There's also an ASP.NET adapter that works well enough for my purposes.
As you're already mentioning ASP.NET, I guess that you'll be using the .NET framework for you're application. So I'd definitely go with SQL Server Express and the Visual Web Developer Express Edition. SQL Express integrates really well with the IDE. You can even Execute managed code in the Database itself. For example you can have a trigger on a table execute managed code (I haven't tried this myself yet though. But it is definitely a cool feature if you're not a DB Programmer). As you mentioned XML: There is a special XML Datatype in SQL Server Express. Also I haven't used that too, It is certainly interesting to by able to easily store and retrieve XML data.

PHP 5 includes built in support for SQLite (relevant PHP manual page).
Though as jdhardy mentioned it's more suitable for a smaller site. In this case, a web service for a university society, it might be a viable option.

wow. thanks alot for all your opinions. I think I'll go for SQL express, but will have a look at other too.
