Database Confusion

Hi All,

Complete Newbie trying to learn some programming.
I am using Visual Studio Express 2012 Desktop.

I am just starting with a simple application that prints information we require to a label printer from a preset table within the application.

I have designed the look and feel I need for the application. The Menu, Sub Menu's etc.

I need to now attach a database though. I was hoping I could use a database that is self contained in the same directory of the program so that if needed I can just copy the entire directory to another pc and it will just work.

The next step though, I want to list each column header and then all of the information of our stickers so that when a menu item is selected it can grab the relevant info.

Suggestions would be great on the best database to use to achieve this.

Thanks in advance
Stephen

If you want to be able to store and copy the DB easily then you should probably use an Access Database as it is a single file and requires no server to be running.

There are several options for working with databases, a quick search should turn up many examples.
