What database can I use that does not need an application to be installed

Question

Hi I am creating a windows application and I need to select a database. I dont want to go out and install sql server express for every person who uses my application.

What database can I use that does not need an application to be installed. I would like to have a database for each customer that is stored locally.

Answer 1

It would depend on what you wanted to use it for, if you just want one database for each user then I would look at using SQLite

If you need one database for every user that SQL server installed on a remote server would be ideal
