Like Bernard said, you’ll need an ODBC driver, so as long as you’re willing to go third party (if I understand the SQLite situation correctly), that should be no problem.
That said, if you have PowerBuilder, you have license to distribute the single-user SQL Anywhere run time engine. If no-cost is your only criteria, and you’re only connecting locally, SQL Anywhere may be an option to evaluate. Not only is it an incredibly solid database, but there’s a much larger base of documentation and experience connecting PowerBuilder to SQL Anywhere, so if you run into problems, you’re more likely to get some help.
Good luck.
