I need to create a program where I will be storing a bunch of data, not a whole lot but a lot of financial matter
I know my answer is all over google but some of those big database folks want to charge for distribution
others only run online or on a virtual host
What is a good free database that I can embed with C and together store information locally and possibly online?
Or should I write my own?

Don't waste time inventing your own database unless existing code doesn't do what you need.

From your list of requirements, SQLite should fit your needs just fine.

Is there any reason that I absolutely should not write my own delta compression library (in C)? I'm working on proprietary project and cannot include any GPL'd code (and most others in fact).Being not an expert in binary data compression, I'm wondering if I do go this way, where should I start? All data involved is highly patterned binary with roughly the same length (~100K).
Sorry for the rather vague question.. Thanks in advance for any insight
Zlib is freely available and reusable, even in proprietary software. (Here is the license.) There is no reason to try and recreate it.

I am now struggling to find a best database for the following purpose:
1. Store the online data every 0.1 second!
2. Easy to access the data in the database
3. Compatible for windows system
4. No need to be OpenSource Solution
Any suggestions?
Well there is alot of nosql db systems, most simplest for me are redis and mongodb.
I use redis for highload apps, and mongodb for easier access to data (if you came from sql world). Both have windows versions, both open sourced.

Does anyone know of a good web-based GUI I could use for database design? It is going painfully slow in Photoshop.
You can use MySQL Workbench to do this. There are many web-based apps as well. http://wb.mysql.com/
Try this web-based designer
Just had occasion to use this earlier today: http://www.dbvis.com/
Java/uses JDBC drivers so widely compatible
Produces reasonably pretty relationship diagrams
The free version is still pretty capable, and the cost is eminently reasonable
EDIT: Ah, not web-based, but...somethings you really can't fit into that box very well.

This can be community wiki.
I'm looking for a simple, multi-platform, free database browser (ODBC,etc). This is for those times when I want to interface with a database, and just need a simple way to quickly see what the heck is in it. Doesn't need to support any vendor-specific features.
Too much junk out there and I don't want to play with these things all day. What do you use?
I like SqlDbx - the personal edition is free. It supports most of the major databases, and the built in intellisense is useful for queries.
Dbvisualizer has a free version http://www.dbvis.com/products/dbvis/download/

Which database should I use for a medium SaaS CRM? nosql or relational database?
Oracle
Sql Server
CouchDB
etc.
Any suggestions?
Wow, not giving us much to go on there. There are many good DBMS systems out there from the relational to document based to object based. One of the reasons there are so many is they each have advantages and disadvantages in different application scenarios. With so little to go on I'd say use the one you're familiar with unless there's a driving reason to use another.
MYSQL would be a great idea as it is open source and is gaining acceptance in enterprise also.
