I have made a RSS reader winform app which uses a mysql database to store urls. If I publish the application, the setup works fine in my computer as i have MySQL and the database within my computer. But how can i deploy the Mysql database with my application? Does whoever installs my app also needs to install MySQL, or is there any other way to do around?

u might consider a distributable db such as sqlite http://stackoverflow.com/questions/49378/deploy-mysql-server-db-with-net-application – jenson-button-event Nov 21 '12 at 10:12

How many ppl will be using your system? Is it intended that several users will be all accessing the same Database. Its a very important aspect. – Derek Nov 21 '12 at 10:39

U should try to include a sql script to crate the database and tables u need. so that everyone who will use your application only hast to enter his logon data for a mysql database. So there is no need to install a complete mysql with your application. In general the DB does not have to be on the same system as the application.

So you're saying that in order for the application to work the user must have a MySQL server available? – Simon Whitehead Nov 21 '12 at 10:17

I'm pretty sure nowadays nearly everybody has access to at least one mysql server if he has some webspace somewhere. – sailingthoms Nov 21 '12 at 10:20

Sure.. but do his customers have that? What's to say the customer's "webspace" isn't hosted on a Windows box with MS SQL? – Simon Whitehead Nov 21 '12 at 21:41
