C# and database

[edel_ong]

Hi! Is is possible to come up with a C# application that uses databases but doesnt really need to install Mysql or Oracle? I am using a windows platform and I need to come up with an application that if installed in another computer, wouldn't need to install a database also. Thanks very much!:)

As far as 2-tier achitecture is concern, the answer is yes. You don't need to install your application together with the database. You can create an application in any language that can connect to a remote database server. :)

Did you mean "database server"? If so, you could use MS Access or SQLite if your application can live with their restrictions. /ravi

You could also look at SQL express 2005. It's free.
