Attention:  Shameless Plug Alert!!!

Check out KirbyBase at http://www.netpromi.com/kirbybase.html

It's a 40kb pure-Ruby DBMS library.  You can do select statements, 
similar to SQL, but using native Ruby syntax.  It comes with a 
multi-threaded/multi-user db engine script.

Since I wrote it, I'm pretty biased, but I think it works pretty well.  :)
