Hello,

I want to develop a POS application in .NET (C#) that would be used to rent items. I have a good idea of what will be done and the famous question that I have is about the DBMS that I should use. I would like to use MySQL database.

The question is: If some places use only one computer (no network, no internet connection), can I use a MySQL database in local? Do I need to install MySQL server on all thoses computers to be able to use such a database? I know SQLite but I'm not sure if the limitations can cause problems in the future... I also looked at SQLServer Express versions.

(I must consider that other point of sales are using multiple computers and more transactions so there I can't put sqlexpress or sqlite)

So can anybody suggest me what I should do in that situation?

Thanks
