Is it always necessary to upload to the host, the App_Data folder if my db
does not reside in that folder?
 
It is because my host is telling me that the problem with my db is related to
the fact that I have not uploaded a App_Data folder. I kinda felt that this
was not so because my program works fine on my development machine with
App_Data folder.
 
Whether an App_Data directory is needed, or not, may be related to your ISP's rules.
An ISP can ban databases from residing anywhere other than App_Data.


The only thing to have in mind, if your data resides somewhere else than in App_Data,
is that, unless it's a SQL Server or similar DBMS, your data might be at risk if the
data resides within a virtually accesible online directory.
