Hello Good Evening and welcome to nothing much.

Java now has Cloudscape, what about .Net?

Death marching sucks to say the least.

Now that it's saturday, i'm catching up on feeds reading.

There seems to be 2 new entrants on the open source database arena. Ingres from CA and Cloudscape from IBM (handed over to Apache Foundation).

I don't know the exact footprint (disk wise),but it's being touted as small (i've read somewhere 2 Mb).

We need something similar for the .Net world (Sql Server 2005 Lite disk footprint seems large to me). I mean, what would be really neat, is a small purely managed (preferably included in the framework itself) relational database engine that can be embedded in .Net applications.

Just imagine the benefits that Smart Clients could reap, by having at their disposal a small relational database engine for storage.

I'm aware of SQLite, even last week i was googling away, to see if someone had compiled it to a purely managed code, didn't find it.
But didn't find this article either. :-)
Thanks for the tip.
(although a MS supported solution would be nicer :-D).

Ingres - I pity the poor souls who are forced to, or attempt to use it.

SQLite is exactly that - really intended for single or less than 3 users, read-primarily database operations. Now there are many of those - but don't get caught out when you discover that SQLite has one locking mechanism- a table lock for all updates and refernntial integrity. Performance with many updaters is sllllllloooooowwwwwwwwwwww!!!
