Newbie: Light-weight database for a C# client app? MSDE?

[Jackie Goldstein]

You may want to check out (the upcoming) SQL Server 2005 Express, which is the next generation replacement for MSDE. Besides the SQL 2005 engine, it address the main shortcomings/complications of MSDE.

Do all database solutions require a database server to be installed on
the client?

My goal is to reduce installer complications and bloat and an evolution
path to a smart-client version where the database is located on a
centralized Internet server.

The options in "The MSDE Deployment Toolkit (RC) in Action" sound like
they are going to complicate my install and result in more tech support
calls.

Thanks for the tip. I was not aware of "SQL Server 2005 Express". I
will keep this in mind for future development.
