Nobody Is Home

I come here because of the number of .net developers. I am seeking
a cost effective database, not to say that Microsoft SQL isn't cost
effective. It is just too expensive for the application I am going
to be developing. In the C/C++ days, there where embedded databases
folks could use. Are there such things in these days of .NET? I
would like some SQL type database so that when my customers need
something like MSSQL, they can migrate to it without me having to
change much, if any code.

Does anyone have any advice?
 
Well, the application is a multi-user application designed for very
small companies between 2 and 10 users. If I am not mistaken MSDE
is designed for single user, only.
 
No, MSDE is designed for multi-users. It is basically MSSQL with a rather
complicated built-in throttle. Without going into the details of how the
throttle works, with only 10 users the throttle should rarely if ever come
into play. Based on reports I've read, MSDE has been successfully used by
groups of 100+.

Roger,

Outstanding! I will go look at the license for MSDE again! Thanks!
