What database to choose for program development?

Question

Database

Good evening, I am developing a program for storing and quickly accessing data, the program itself is located on the local computer, more than 5+ people will use the program, and the database will be located on a remote computer, please tell me which database to use?

Answer 1

If C # and Windows, then it is easier and more convenient to use MS SQL Server, under it all Windows, studio and language are sharpened, everything is described and chewed. As for data volumes and so on, you are unlikely to deal with such volumes of data where SQL Server will sag in something. Today, for the vast majority of projects, there is no critical difference which DBMS to use, only for highly loaded projects this is relevant. So take MS SQL Server simply because integration with C# and .NET will take much less time and will be more convenient.

Answer 2

and the database will be located on a remote computer

the most important questions are:
- expected amount of data?
- what OS is on the "remote computer"?
let's say it's Windows (including Server), and the volumes are expected to be small, the answer is unequivocal - MS SQL Server Express, the database limit is 10 GB, but everything is free and "from head to toe native", like Windows, Sharp, Vpfu and the studio itself. everything is described and chewed to the point of impossible. even in Russian
