VistaDB is an embedded SQL database engine and SQL database server alternative to Microsoft Jet/Access and MSDE for building robust small to midsize .NET database applications. VistaDB supports SQL-92 commands and also provides high-speed Direct Data Access(tm) objects for object oriented data management -- all in a small 500kb footprint! VistaDB can be deployed using XCopy for desktop and peer-to-peer apps or using FTP to copy 2 files up to a shared web server for ASP.NET apps. Copy 'n Go!(tm) deployment with zero configuration makes deploying your ASP.NET and WinForms applications completely hassle free. The key reason to use VistaDB is the small footprint. VistaDB is 100x smaller than the MSDE and SQL Express and is more robust than Jet/Access using .MDB files.
Features: Managed .NET Data Provider (ADO.NET Connection, Command, DataAdapter, DataReader objects, and Database, Table and DataSet DDA objects) with C# source code allowing the .NET Provider to be embedded directly into .NET applications, supports building both ASP.NET and WinForms applications, fast SQL-92 query processor, visual utilities to manage and migrate data to VistaDB (Data Builder and Data Migration Wizard), managed Direct Data Access objects provide "live data" cursors into your tables with C# source code, XML support, single-file data store with Exabyte storage capacity, rich data types including: BLOB, Boolean, Character, Currency, Double, Date, DateTime, GUID, Int32, Int64, Memo, Picture, Varchar with NULL data support for all data types, compression, encryption, fault-tolerant unlimited nesting transaction processing with SureCommit(tm) technology, triggers, constraints, relationships, single and multi-column indexes, single and multi-user support, unlimited sessions, free unlimited distribution and much more!

Blog entry with opinion about VistaDB.
A powerful database engine built specifically for .NET to deliver high-performance data management with minimal overhead.
The program analyses the structure of a VDB Database and allows you to save the results to a file or print them out. Saved structure information can be re-loaded and re-printed, and can be modified to suit anyone's particular purposes. The resulting output is saved as an RTF file and can be further processed in Word or other applications for those creating documentation for their programs. It also supports cut, copy and paste operations where needed. It is a 32bit Windows application, compatible with all later Windows operating systems including Windows 98, 98SE, 2000, ME and XP.
