  • 0

Is there a light weight version of SQL Server I could use that has the characteristics of:

  1. Free (assuming my winforms app is semi-commercial)
  2. Can be seemlessly packaged for deployment as part of the winforms click-once application? (i.e. ease in installation for the user).
  3. Light weight for the user (ideally something that just runs when the winforms application that uses it is running – but better than using XML sererialization for persistance).

Thanks

    I don’t know about any such (Microsoft) SQL server version. But if I’m in such situation I’ll definitely go for SQLite or Firebird
