visual studio 2013 - Can't add Local Database to project -


this might dumb question... in vs2013 when trying add local database windows forms application project option shown in c# items menu. db available service-based db. understand, related sql compact edition have sql server 2012 installed. ideas? or there significant differences between local db , service-based db?

a service-based database database accessed through server. uses mdf data file, sql server format. able connect sql server database sql server service must running, because it's that processes requests , access data file.

a local database 1 local application only. uses sdf data file, sql server ce (compact edition) format. there no need install server access sdf database. distribute dlls constitute ssce along app , access data file directly.

you'd use ssce if data accessed app , there relatively small amount of data. project use sql server. testing purposes can use free express edition. when deployed might still use ssee or might use full version of sql server. note microsoft include ssee own rms pos software. ssee limited databases of 4gb though, if start out ssee , can handle load, may still have upgrade @ point in future based on data capacity.

source of info:jmcilhinney post.
