.NET / Mono Database Engine

Question

Are there any DB engines that are implemented entirely in .NET and Mono compatible? I would like to have a DB solution that will run on all platforms via Mono so that I don't have to worry about having separate native binaries for each platform.

Answer 1

VistaDB is fully .NET and supported on Mono. You can embed your DB server into your app with it so there's no extra setup the only issue is this isn't a free product.

Firebird has a .NET version, and is opensource, which runs on Mono as well. There's also a Lucene adaptor for it incase you want to use that for searches.

Can also give this page a look that lists the supported data providers etc. under Mono

Answer 2

db4o is an object database engine (written in both Java and C#) that compiles/runs smoothly under Mono.
