Is it possible to have an embedded database as a file shared on a network disk and used simultaneously by multiple users (to both read and write)?
Slowness is not an issue, but no database software should have to be installed. Is Microsoft SQL Server Compact appropriate for such a purpose?
I found this page on the msdn which suggests that version 3.5 and above of MS SQL Server Compact should be o.k. in this scenario.
However I, personally, have no experience with this so could not say for sure if this will definitely work.
