Do my user need to install a database program to use my database program?

This might be a stupid question but I'm new at all this.

I want to create a Windows program that communicates开发者_Python百科 with a database. Is there any way to do this without the user of my program have to install a database program like MySql?

I'm going to program it in C#.

You can use embedded databases like SQLite or Firebird Embedded.

You can find the full list of embedded database solutions on wikipedia page

SQL Server Compact works for you. But it doesn't support some functionalities. But you don't need to install a seperate database server. It works embedded.

Since you mention MySQL: MySQL Embedded Database

(It's not free, though.)
