Hi,

I want to develop an application that will need some degree of
database functionality, but I don't want to ask the end customer to
install MySQL or MS SQL Server. I don't need powerful SQL syntax, and
the tables would be small enough so that they could perfectly fit
entirely in RAM. Does anyone know of a light .NET database library
that I could use to provide this minimal degree of database
management, so that the customer does not have to install an extra
package?

I was thinking about writing a C# class that would provide this
functionality, but I'm sure someone else has already done this before.

Hello Mochuelo,

Try to use DataTable for this and serialize data to the disk with WriteXml()/ReadXml
methods
