SQL Server Everywhere

Finally, a small footprint version of SQL Server, which doesn't run as a service. Does this finally mean we have a suitable replacement for Access mdb files?

    Another suitable replacement has existed for some time now: SQLite! I use it extensively in an app that also uses Flickr.Net. It comes up a bit short on the design tool side, but it’s hard to beat its footprint, performance, and licensing terms. Not to mention cross platform support if that is important.

    I assume you use the SQLite ADO.Net Provider:

    try:
