Deployable database solution for Windows Form project
-
I'm in need of a deployable database solution for my Windows Forms projects. VS.NET has Local Database (.sdf) which asks you to install SQL Server Pocket Edition and Service-based Database (.mdf) which requires SQL Server Express to be installed. What can I use for my project that I can deploy in a setup?

You can just deploy an access DB, I thought. But, that is an mdf file. I guess they are moving away from that, because it sucks. I thought there was also a SQL Server embedded, which becomes part of your exe, but I am vague on the details, I keep meaning to look into that for my app.
