make binary file
-
Hi guys. i have two Questions to make sure the serialization of objects does not alter the following concepts: i may use windows application with either mdb or MS SQL database. Is it possible to those database files such as micrsoft access or microsoft SQL to convert binary format, like BIN files extension? OR with those database files above can be converted in to dll files? thanks so much for helping..
so much of happy ending...

Yes.

I don't understand the question.

I don't see how converting a database to a DLL would be helpful in anyway. A DLL file is fairly static. It generally does not change. In fact, while the program is running it cannot change as the operating system locks the file. By contrast, database files tend to change all the time.

I don't think any of your questions actually impact object serialization in any way. You can use a Windows application with any database technology you want. Typically the actual database files are in a proprietary format specific to the database engine (technology) and aren't human-readable. If you want to prevent someone from opening the database outside of your application (through a database management tool) then you need to use the database security mechanisms to password protect your database. DLLs are not used for data like this. If you want to "embed" the database in to your application, you should look at Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition[^]

Thanks you so much scott its really helpful and im happy that u helped me. i need to database to be embeded in the application as you said, but i dont want to do security externally by using password. thanks lot!

You're welcome. The best option would probably be SQL Server CE (Compact Edition). It has a very small runtime footprint (2 DLLs) and stores the entire databse in a single file. It is very compatible with the full-blown SQL Server and pretty easy to work with.
