Why would dbase have problem with it? Isn´t dbase type for strings
simply a array of bytes? You could just pass a utf-8 string to it. I´m
sure dbase isn´t doing any kind of string transformation with the date
it receives (or am I wrong?).

You could also try sqlite. According to it´s website:

Small code footprint: less than 250KiB fully configured or less than
150KiB with optional features omitted.

It can´t be statically linked without some effort (because it´s made
on c), but has only one external library to be deployed.
