Database ??

[Guest]

I'm thinking about buying Basic .NET Standard edition. Does it come
with some sort of database or do I need to purchase that separately

What do you recommend for just a small windows application

Thanks

It comes with MSDE, which is a scaled down version of SQL 2000, and
theres no administrative interface(Enterprise Manager).

The way around the lack of the Enterprise Manager though is to download
the trial version of SQL 2000 server from microsoft and install only the
client components.

See my reply in the framework newsgroup and please don't cross-post.

MSDE. Notice that you won't be able to access SQL Server through the
IDE's server explorer.

VS.NET Professional ;-).

Do a GOOGLE search for databases that support .NET languages. I believe
Firebird has one, SQLite has one and MySQL has one (though I don't think
that one is free).
