i'm currently working on a desktop application for the windows platform, I want to know the best database to use for the application, one that is compact, such that it can be packaged and redistributed with the application. Thanks

If you need embedded type database for local use the answer is one: SQLite. It is way better than any other solution I know. (And once I made a big research on this subject) If you need client-server type database the choice is not so obvious. Maybe Firebird is a good tradeoff. |
