    Database without mdac?

    Hi!

    Is it possible to use a database in a visualbasic application without mdac?

    My problem is that the application gets so big if I need to distribute mdac in order to use databases in my app.
    Mdac is 7 mb large...and this is too much.

    Does anyone have suggestions on how I can solve this problem?
    Is there databases that do not need mdac?
    Chris

    Yes, maybe I have something:

    A VB program that uses data access will need some Data Access Components (MDAC) to take advantage of the possibilities of the ways to get data from the database. You can check the following: if a system has already installed MDAC, you don't have to put it into your Setup wizard. If it doesn't, you have to distribute MDAC with your application.

    I'm not sure, but according to me MDAC has nothing to do with the type of database you use. It is used to make it possible to use data access components in your windows application.

    Good luck (sorry for my bad English)
