"Setting up" and using a PostgreSQL server locally, especially since the
SDBC driver now comes with LibreOffice, is trivial. And there's nothing
that's available for free that will keep your data safer (from
corruption) than PostgreSQL.

You don't even have to "install" PostgreSQL to use it, but of course it
will be more convenient to use then.
