From Entity Framework using ASP .NET MVC 3.0, is it possible to use a file as a database while testing? I am aware of the speed of such operations.
In my scenario, I just don’t want a database to run all the time on my computer. Neither do I want to start it up when I need to.
Is it possible? I’m not looking for MDF files. I’m looking for ways to save entire data on the disk.
Yes, it is. All you need to do is to define a database format for the file, write the handlers, write all teh logic infvolved and then write a provider for Entity Framework to use, including tooling support for visual studio.
All in all a couple of man years of work.
So yes, it is POSSIBLE, but it makes no sense.
