I'm developing a small app and need a database for storing data on the fly.
I've looked a little into SQL Server 2005 Express Edition and it seems to be
working fine. I've added it to the prerequisites and performed a publish.
However, when I try to deploy it to a XP/Vista system I get all kinds of
problems. Before I look any further into this, I have a few questions about
deploying and using databases like this one:

1 - Any link to a webpage where I can find a step-by-step description on how
to deploy/publish a stand-alone application so it works?
2 - Is there any other, real simple database that can be recommended? It
should be easy to use and easy to deploy?

Regards

I would recommend Firebird database, which also allows embedded
version - it does not need any database installation on client host
and provides almost full set of sql features. Its licence is very
pleasant as well.

Hi,

What kind of problems are you encountering with SQL Express?

sqlite isn't as fully featured as firebird, etc, but if your
requirements are minimal its very usable.
