You could look into Oracle Lite, that's the smallest footprint Oracle DB that I can think of although I believe it's for Pocket PC and Palms. Don't know what the licensing cost is but it sure ain't free. And you should tell your users no matter what database engine you use. They may have to license it and/or get people in house who can work with it, depending on their desired level on integration. One thing you should NEVER do is assume that your application will remain a standalone one. Therefore keeping secrets like this is a definite NO-NO.

I think they are stored in database . Now ,I am going to program by visual c++ , In order to process large data , I want to use oracle . But I don't want to tell my users: " to get a oracle database 9i and install it .The program needs them". If there is some way to get the core parts of oracle that you only install it you can use them? I just need some table and index to make my processing data fast.
