It's an interesting read, but given the cost, complexity, and capabilities of Oracle I don't think I would choose it as an imbedded database engine. Especially when there are other candidates that are built more to the point.

Subject: Oracle Database in Embedded Environments
It's my first post on oracle-l even if I follow you since two years by RSS :) and I'd like to say hello to all of you.
I'm gathering informations about Oracle database embedded solutions and
I started reading this link
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/embedded/whatsnew/index.html
I know that to sell Oracle database in embedded environments you have to
be an Oracle partner and certified to be able to deploy your application
with it.
The problem is: our account manager "heard" that an embedded oracle
database is provided to the customer as is (into the appliance) and it's
not possible to manage it by a dba because for example sqlplus is even
not installed.
Then I read also this pdf
http://www.oracle.com/us/technologies/11g-embedded-whitepaper-166560.pdf
In my opinion it consists just in a silent but "complete" installation where if you are able to conveniently configure and use the database into the appliance no administrative in-house intervention is required... otherwise the seller (my company in this case) have to solve the problem with their own dba.
What is your experience about it ?
Regards,
Marco
