Hello.

Does Microsoft's have portable SQL version similar as SQLite?

I view that have LocalDb into SQL Express version, but i think that is only for development and not to create a portable .net software with portable database.
And the version of SQL Compact Edition for which it's deprecated.

Thanks

    Hi @ImDevA ,

    As far as I know, the answer is No.

    SQL server is different from SQLLite. Refer to the blog Differences between SQL and SQLite to get details.

    You could bundle localDB with your application, but it will make setup a little more complicated.

    Then again, I am under the impression that Windows comes with SQLite, but maybe I'm confused.
