The same way, I see Access as an attempt to bring database prog... no,
manipulation, to the masses. Years after that, MS gives C# which is a
much more cleaner implementation of concepts the developer is now used
to see and use.

I can't comment on its fitness for your purpose, but please do
us all a favor and don't expose it on a routable IP address.
Hide it behind a NAT box so the kiddies won't invade it.

My only contact with SQL server has been searching information for
certain features in its manuals. Manuals give an impression of properly
working database (its meant as a serious program, not as a toy...). The
real databases I've been working with are Oracle and Postgres.

Hello,

I'm going to ask the same question as I previously asked in berkeley-db
newsgroup:

I'm coming from an MS-database world, using Access with VB, and SQL
Server with C#. I'd like to try an opensource database instead of SQL
Server one, but couldn't find answers to some basic questions:
- can PostgreSQL database be stored in a single file, such as Access'
mdb ones ?
The dump of a database can be.
- if the answer is negative, in computers which use a program using
PostgreSQL, how is stored the database and is it easily moveable ?
A dump then a restore lets you move the database between different

machines with the same version of postgresql.

- is there a DbProvider in ADO.Net 2 which works fine with PostgreSQL
Yes there is. Fine I don't know.
? Or a separate one ? I'd like to use the database with C# and benefit
of DB fonctionality of it.

Thanks in advance for any answer.
