Re: Database choice to use in C#

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I've been looking at SQL 2005, and can see that releasing a program based on
that this year, can be a problem.
So I took a look at the firebird (thanks for the link Cor), which has a ADO
to .NET.
So maybe my choice will fall on that one.

With my program not beeing that complex, and given that I have an ADO to
both DB's, the difference between choosing MS og Firebird isn't that big of
an issue for my final code is it?

Now all I'm searching for is a good guide to get startet with building DB
driven applications in C#.

Best regards
Mads
