Applications developed with VistaDB can run on desktops, file servers, and web servers. VistaDB is a lightweight serverless alternative to SQL Server for applications that do not always need the Enterprise features of Microsoft SQL Server.

quotesYou have a GREAT product - I wrestled many, many hours/days trying to find a replacement to Access/Jet so that I could offer support on 64-bit platforms - I tried SQL CE(too slow) and SQL Express (GIANT install, maintenance, support NIGHTMARE). I'd recommend your product to anyone trying to do the same.quotes
