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
David

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.
