Your user will need MySql installed, I do believe. SQLlite is the non MS DB that deploys via a dll.

I don't want the user to know that there is a database packaged let alone the type of database. If SQLite would do same job for me while deployed using ClickOnce Application deployment, then i'll be happy to know were to download it and how to use it please. Thanks a lot

You can find SQLite with google. Yes, both it and SQL Server Compact Edition ship as a dll, not an install. Choose one, the main difference is that SQL Server Compact won't accept more than one user at a time.

Thanks a lot, you've given me some hope. So hope do i integrate it into visual studio 2008.

You just make a reference to the dll in your project, and it will be in your output directory

SQLite is something new and cool except that I can't even add Relationships with constraint rules like 'On delete cascade' and 'On udpate cascade', After creating the relationships, it can't help us to not make any conflict whereas a Foreign key constraint should do help.
