Hey /prog/, I have a question.
I'm an "amateur"(read:wannabie) programmer, trying to build an application that will catalog all my Manga/Doujin/Comics I've collected over the years. I'm doing this is C# for it's simplicity, but my problem is with the type of database to use.
The question is: What kind of database provider will allow me to connect directly to a file to do my dirty work, instead of having to go through a server? I'm currently using access, but while it sort of works, there are a lot of things about it that just piss me off.
I would like to use MySQL or something similar, but from my limited experience with it, I see of no way to connect to the database without having to connect to the server first.
Anyone have any recommendations?
