Hello all, I have a delema that requires local data storage. I have an application currently that connects to a sybase database through ODBC and extracts data. Currently when I connect to the file I store my information in the database I am connecting to.
Now, I am looking to move this to a multi store option, I need to store the location, file, and odbc data locally so that the application knows what site it needs to connect to. I am currently at a loss. Should I load sqlexpress and use a portable file? Should I use XML? I fear though with XML if some idiot deletes the file I loose everything. Should I write the items to a registry key?
I am at a bit of a loss, I do not want to completely rewrite the turning of the wheel, but I also need complete reliability.
Help...
