    Hi, I am building desktop application using .net framework. Front end will be deployed in client PC and database will be kept in LAN server. In this case which is best database to be used. Since I am new to client-server implementation how to make sure connection string while installing front end in client PC and is there any instance of database needs to installed before establishing connectivity. I don't want to too much dependencies while installation since client is startup company and not able to invest on licence databases. Regards, Rahul

      You could use SQL Server Express, or google for free\open source database solutions, but using SQL Express would make it easier to go to proper SQL Server when they can afford it. However I would strongly question any company, start-up or not, that can't afford to properly license software and I'd also be wary working for such a company.

        What SiteCore said - SQL Express will give you 4gb of storage and limited connections but will allow you to easily upgrade to a licenced version when you outgrow the express. I do hope you are doing this pro bono or as a training/entry exercise, it does sound dodgy.
