title: Light database server options for a small business application
body: <p>Hi there and many thanks in advance, Im veeery newby.</p>
  
  <p>I am building a small visual basic 2010 application and I need a better choice for my database (around 20 tables), since now Im using SQL server express 2008 and as far as I understand it is too big and complicated for me (just installing it was a pain for me)</p>
  
  <p>I am looking for an application that will be easy to distribute (maybe just an installer and thats it!) and that can run without problems on old computers with windows xp.
  The last thing is that I want to have to chance to install just a client version of my app on a computer and tell it to connect to the database wich will be running on other computer on the same LAN (or maybe on a web server on the future!).</p>
  
  <p>In other words I would like to have the option of selecting "where" is the database to read/write on.</p>
  
  <p>I will thank advices for this implemtation and will respond if somebody needs more details before answering.</p>
