Deploy database

Hi!

I am a new to programmeing in .Net and C#.

After some time programming in C# i want to go to the next level of
programming. I want to include a database with my applications, but i
am a litle confused about something. Must the client have ex: Access
installed, or can i accsess the file directly via ADO?

If there exist any tutorials about deploying databases, I would
apreciate a link to :-)

Best regards

If you use an Access database, the custommer does NOT need MS Access; you
will access the database file directly. If you use an SQL Server database,
MSDE must be installed on the client machine. To deploy an Access database,
it's quite straithforward. .. copy the database file :P For SQL Server, the
best way is to restore the database from a clean backup.

Btw, SQL Server databases are harder to deploy but are much, much better
than Access databases for serious work.

Hi fellows, I have two simple questions regarding the Framework's deploy and the Setup and Deploy Projects: 1. As I've read in another posts and newsgroups (and as I can imagine), VS.NET IDE isn't capable of create a setup and deploy project and, in a elegant way, during the setup process, detect the absence of the Framework. In this case, I'd like to run the Dotnetredist.exe file, first, and the

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
