    Can you use a SQL SERVER EXPRESS db file without paying for the SQL server upgrade? This is a stand alone file that doesn't require install of actual SQL server.

    "
    [*]Local File Databases Using SQL Express - For ease of development, ASP.NET 2.0 now supports the ability to connect to a SQL Express database as a local file in the application, eliminating the need to provision the database to a server just to perform development work. Of course, you can still connect to server-based SQL databases as well. "

    No.


    SQL express is designed to be used for development environment and there are many security / performance issues in a shared hosting environment.


    Scott Guthrie, the ASP.NET team leader, discussed this issue in his blog and he stated that hoster should NOT offer this feature because of security issue if shared among many users.
