    Hi, i would need to create a software application using C#.NET. I understand there are database such as MS Access and SQL Server. But is there freeware database? No license needed. Example, PHP MyAdmin which is used for php database and its free. Thanks

      You can use MySQL. It's powerful.

      All C# applications should call Application.Quit(); in the beginning to avoid any .NET problems.- Unclyclopedia How to use google | Ask smart questions

        Few choices (registration needed in most): - SQL Server Express Edition for multiuser environment - SQL Server Compact Edition for singleuser environment - Oracle XE - IBM DB 2 Express-C - MySql and there are lots more but I think these are the most useful. Mika

          How about SQL Server Express? Use Live Search to find it.

            The 2 best options I know of are MySQL and PostgreSQL. A couple of differences I've noticed: 1. MySQL Community server is free, unless you redistribute your project not user the GPL license. In this case, you would need to purchase a license. However, if your project is distributed under GPL, then it's still free. 2. PostgreSQL is licensed under the BSD license, so it is completely free to use in any and all situations. 3. From personal experience, MySQL seems to be much faster than PostgreSQL, so if speed is an issue (as it is in my application), I'd go with MySQL. Dybs

              You can use SQLite. It is a free (public domain) database and it doesn't require an independent installation of a DB server. It is also very simple to work with (you only need to reference its assembly) and it has reasonable free admin tools. SQL Server Express is not really free. It has a size limit (4GB), it requires a separate installation (which makes installation more cumbersome) and it uses a separate server. MySQL is not really free either (for commercial applications at least) and requires a separate installation of the DB server. If you are interested - go to www.sqlite.org for more information. SQLite also has a very good .net provider (search on google). Best of luck Liron
