This is sort of off topic but I will give it a shot. I am considering learning dot net and thought I would do a simple windows application project that can be distributed that has a single table of address information (perhaps being expanded to up to 5 tables). My reading indicates that I can create an installable package ok but I am unsure about the database part. I have seen examples which use SQL Server or Access but both of these seem overkill in this situation - likely users will not have either of these installed and it seems crazy to include runtime installations just for one table (or even if there were up to 5 tables). Assuming that a similar application was created for actual distribution what would be a suitable solution for storing the data in these circumstances (or is a dot net application not the right tool for this job?)
