Speed is like what you would expect from an Access or other file based system. Since it is also 100% managed code it is not as fast as some others. But it is VERY lightwieght, runs under Compact Framework, Mono (Linux and Mac OS), and you can even buy the source code.

Wrong Brother, Oracle is infact a very very good database, and cross-platform for your information, but it is mostly geared toward Java not .NET.

The user interface is the worst I've ever seen though...

Yeah SQLplus is the only tool the provide, has somebody at Oracle heard of the word GUI.
.net is a box of never ending treasures, every day I get find another gem.

And out company uses oracle extensivly. For both unix and windows environment.

Best GUI for Oracle: Toad 9.0

Shames it's third party and you have to pay for it, come on - a tool like that should be bundled with Oracle.

Yes, you have your point.

Toad for Oracle makes working in Oracle damn easy, specially the PL/SQL and DBA part. There is a free, stripped down version available for use. But the full version is expensive, but feature-rich.

Maybe, once you've stuggled to install it and come to grips with SQLPlus and paid a DBA to maintain it, sure it's great if you like hard to use products.

I saw a presentation at TechEd 2007 last week from Oracle that they plan to support LINQ for Dot Net, and they have a new provider coming. So I think Oracle is getting more serious about Dot Net.

I'm giving you a 5, I can tell you've come into contact with Oracle before.

But, why do you think most financial companies use Oracle?!

EntitySpaces makes using Oracle trivial, no kidding, see http://www.entityspaces.net, in fact, our unit tests run the same binary against VistaDB, Microsoft SQL, Oracle, MySQL and Access, true db independence, and very intuitive API.
Employee emp = new Employee();
emp.FirstName = "Mike";
emp.LastName = "Smith";
emp.Save();
Dynamic Query
EmployeeCollection coll = new EmployeeCollection();
emp.Query.Where(coll.Query.LastName.Like("Smi%"));
if (coll.Query.Load())
{
foreach (Employee emp in coll)
{
Console.WriteLine(emp.FirstName);
}
}
We support Oracle Sequences and Hierarchical Models, all kinds of cool stuff.

It seems that embedded databases are getting its due
What about being open source like Berkeley DB?

My data stores are nowhere complex enough to warrant a full-on SQL database. I use XML and do my searches with XPath. XPath is really, really handy once you grok the syntax.

I agree and its fairly straight-forward to learn and powerful enough to use in small apps.

Thank you, Sir,
I thought DB2 was widely used, even if it is only on a datacenter environment.
DB2 generally deserves a place othe list. :-Dn

Hmmm! Do not know. When I started programming, one of the first things I did was write a clone for the code side of that.
