    Hi all, is there a way to create an application with an database WITHOUT the need of installing a server (e.g. MS-SQL Server or Oracle Server etc.)? The only solution i know is MS-ACCESS but i don't like this. I hope you know what i mean.

      If the size of your data isn't too large and your data will be accessed by a single client (at a time), you could use XML files to store your data, doing away with the need for a database server. /ravi My new year's resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Music | Articles | Freeware | Trips ravib(at)ravib(dot)com

          There are several embedded databases that could work. Search Google for VistaDB or Firebird.

            You can use the Firebird database. There is an embedded version so that you don't have to install a server, just a DLL. http://firebird.sourceforge.net/[^] You can find the .NET data providers for it here. http://firebird.sourceforge.net/index.php?op=files&id=netprovider[^] I've never used it myself, but I've heard plenty of praise for this database. It might be worth a shot.

              You may want to give MySQL a check: http://www.mysql.com/oem/[^]. - It's easier to make than to correct a mistake.
