What is the best database for .NET

Hello friend,

Well, though there are various database engines to run VB.NET, some of them are paid whereas some of them are free limited to the size of the database.

I would recommend you to go for Microsoft SQL Express Server 2008. It works pretty well with VB.NET and the best part is it is absolutely free for Database up to 10 GB.

The Even MYSQL Server is free of cost to run VB.NET but the reason I recommended your Microsoft SQL Server is because the Security as well as Service support and Data Protection techniques of Microsoft SQL Servers are far better and effective than MYSQL Servers.

If you have a large database and if you are looking for a paid server then you can go from MS Access or Oracle.

Hope it helps,

Thanks!
