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.

Yes, that's what I think.
I've started reading something about using access (that big forgotten one) as a portable database, but I guess in the end I'll use SQlite.

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

I may be wrong, but as far as I have not read anything about Windows coming with SQLite.
That SQLite works on Windows does, but that it brings it doesn't
