Hi I have a quick question.
I'm writing an app that requires that I store user input. This includes lists. This app will also be distributed.
Does anyone have a suggestion on a database that will fit my need and allow for distribution with the app?
Thanks!
MS Access is not a bad choice if the data will remain reasonably small less than 100 megs works well. Is easy to distribute and requires no other software or special configurations.
If the need for database is limited to data storage, you might not even need a database and can simply write your data to a - for example - XML file and use that as storage for persistence.
That makes for very easy distribution.
If you use windows and .NET you can try Eloquera Database ( www.eloquera.com ).
Thank you for the reply.
Do you know if there are any license issues?
This database is FREE for commercial use.
Thanks for the reference. This looks like an awesome product.Quote:

Check out MS SQL Express version - it's free as well and is very simple to use with the SqlClient classes.
There's also SQLCE (Compact Edition) which is even easier to set up than SQL Express... just include 7 simple DLLs with the application.
