I’m currently designing a small application in .Net and in the past I’ve been using MSAccess as standalone database that I can ship with the program.
But I was wondering if in this day and age there wasn’t alternative solutions, as easy to integrate in a .Net app., as transparent for the user and maybe better performance with large amount of data?
Your options are:
SQL CE and Firebird are a lot faster when you need multithreaded writes, sqlite is king for single threaded access, or multithreaded reads. VistaDb is 100% managed so you can ship it on embedded devices.
These DBs in general will give you better reliability and performance to access. I would strongly recommend against using any of these dbs over a network share.
