Re: Is 'Jet' only available on machines with Microsoft Office installed?

Tom,

SSCE is single user only on a network share. Multiple thread or apps can access the same database at the same time on a local disk.

The Compact Edition is single user only. So if you need multi user access then it is not an option.

Thanks Ginny!

I was looking at Jet because I didn't want to go through the hassle of
wrapping MSDE or "SQL Server Express" installations into my installer...

I didn't know about "Compact Edition" - I'll definitely look into that.

Dave,

Have you considered SQL Server Compact Edition:
www.microsoft.com/sql/compact. It's very small, faster than Jet, and
"installation" can be as simple as copying a few DLLs to your app folder.
It
also free to deploy with your apps.
