I’m writing an application which will involve interaction with the database. The application will be used by users from the scale of 100 to 1000 and the database should be able to store up to 100,000 rows of data.

Previously I have used Microsoft Access but my users were required to install microsoft access database engine for my application to function as intended. I want my application to as light weight/portable as possible, so is there any better alternatives where users will not be required to install any third party components to run my application?

    Depends on whether the DB will be server side or client side.

    If it’s server side it’s up to you really, I would personally go SQL Server as I know that best, or even a mySql/phpMyAdmin combo. But if it’s to reside on the client machine try SQLite (just a warning though it is exactly as the name suggests, LITE, so a lot of the more complex SQL might not be supported). SQLite may be exactly what you’re looking for depending on the complexity involved in your project.

    ALSO: SQLite is supported on iPhone, Blackberry and Android as well. So if you wanna go mobile, no problem.
