Solution 1

you place the database on a central server..

As Simple.v says you'll need to do create the int the installer of your program. But if your users do not have a database installed on your system you'll also have to install that one, either by telling the user they have to install it or installing a it yourself programmaticly, if your database comes in a version and with a license that allows it.

No , I want to place database to every where locally,

Then why ask this question? if you're not asking "where will i place the database" then your question is not very clear.

Now you say you want the database on the client system, ok, but whats the question then? I don't get it.

Solution 2

In windows application you need to take project installer class.
In that class you need to write the code for creation of database in local system while installing.

Not sure why you have been down voted so much - this is pretty much what needs to be done - have +4 from me as just a bit light on the details

Simon Bang Terkildsen 23-Sep-11 8:38am

4 from me too, I want to add that the actual database system might not even be install so the OP would have to do so in the installer aswell or tell the user to do so.

Solution 3

the best solution to this would be to use SQlite, it is used alot for exactly the purpose your looking for. Also the files it produce's are very small and therefore easily downloaded quickly
