I’am building an application, which need to only record it’s settings trough a database, so like I logged in with the name: “Mobstaa”, it needs to fill the username textbox the next time I start up the application. There are a few other little settings like that, that needs to be stored in that Database.

Now I’am wondering if it is smart to use SQL Compact Edition, I read about a few disadventages of the compact edition, but I really don’t want the users that will run my application need to install a very big SQL file for just a small application, does anybody know wether it is smart for me to use the SQL Compact Edition, or does anybody has a very good alternative for my problem?

    if you really want only to store some settings and want to use a Database, i would suggest that you use SQLite. This db is much more lightweight than MS-SQL Compact Edition and it’s an in-memory database, so you can ship the db within your product and don’t have to install a seperate database on your computer.
