EDB is lightweight but is not at all robust.

Can you expand on what you mean by not robust? I've been using EDB for some years in production applications, with tens of millions of records, without one single failure.

MySQL is best for anything that requires a high level of multiple access (e.g. web app).

I also use EDB for CGI applications, some of which have reasonable traffic (tens of thousands of visitors a day). The locking mechanism is sound, and again I've never had a data access failure.

I'm not suggesting that it's perfect for all uses. And I don't try to use it in any 'relational' way. I'm suggesting however that it's sometimes under-rated.
