How can I release a winform application to a user that takes advantage of a local sql database. I would assume that I need to install the database during some kind of setup phase, but is this kind of thing possible? Is there a free version of tsql that can be used in this way? Mysql?
TSQL is a language specification, not an actual database.
If you’re talking about MS SQL Server, it is possible to bundle and install an instance of SQL Server Express, if you want to distribute a database with your app. There’s some documentation on it over on MSDN, specifically, Embedding SQL Server Express into Custom Applications.
