Question Database options with VB 2008 XE

[RonR]

what are my database options with VB 2008 XE??

I think I am limited to:

Jet(being phased out)

or SQL Server XE


am I correct??

You can use any db if you are able to configure some things on your own. VB Express 2008 wizards only supports Access/SQLX/SQLCE.

I did not use any wizard for Jet(access 2003) and I got it running.

are you talking about a connection string?

No, I'm talking about how data access in mostly done nowadays where IDE does most of the coding for you:
Data Walkthroughs
Visual Basic How Do I Video Series
