VistaDB
Published November 1st, 2005 in asp.net, programming, csharp, VistaDBBeen a little while since my last post, but I’ve been down with bronchitis and a few other things that has put me on a nice cocktail of drugs that say to take with food or without so I have to actually sit down and plan out my day’s worth of meals and such. Not fun. But to the topic at hand….
So I was bouncing around through my rss aggregator yesterday, awaiting my trip to the doctor’s office when I came across VistaDB on Scoble’s Blog. The offer was basically that if you are a .NET blogger (only thing I really feel comfortable talking about tech-wise) you can have a free copy of the database for free. Sounds good to me, I like free, I loathe Access, I don’t much care for MSDE, SQL server is sometimes a bit too big and MySQL can be a real pain in the neck to set up. Yes there are plenty of other options, but those are the ones I use regularly (aside from Oracle which I really just make calls to that when the boss tells me too).
More information on the database to come whenever I get home and get a chance to play with it. I got the project in mind, now I just need to implement it. Speaking of which, anyone know of any CHEAP small/thin touch screens. It could be a something with it’s own OS on it as long as it’s internet capable.

Yeah I know Mike, and I’ve played around with it some, but they’ve given me this product to test and that’s what I’m going to do.
Probably for the best.. I’m hearing rumors the ado.net bindings for sqlite might have some wonky bits.
