VistaDB Database

Hi all

I just saw an ad in the latest ComponentSource newsletter for a database
engine called VistaDB 3.0.

http://www.vistadb.net/default.asp

It looks very interesting as a database engine for smaller applications
where you would normally use access. Plus it can be embedded into the exe.

I've just started doing a small database application, and my concern has
been this: Should I use access or SQL server?

Access is simpler and actually quite sufficient for my needs (very small
database - only a few tables), but it seems old fahioned to me. But at the
same time, I've been reluctant to choose SQL Server because it complicates
the administration and deployment. Access is simply a file you copy, but
with SQL server you have to install the engine and check in the installation
if it exists, attach the database... Not extremely complicated but still a
little overkill for my application.

So I though of testing VistaDB, but I just wonder if anybody knows of it and
has experiences using it they would like to share???

Cheers,
Johnny J.
