I'm using a basic asynchronous TCP/IP client/server program where numerous clients connect to a single server. I want to have a large amount of previously known/stored data available to the client and quickly/easily accessible without having to request the server to send it. A database seems like an easy way to store/recall this data and is probably easier than using a ton of text or binary files to do so. But I can't seem to find any tutorials or webpages that explain how to set up a simple data storage/recollection routine without going way overboard with like a SQL server or using Microsoft Access or something. Is there some way I can just integrate a single database file or something similar into a VB.NET program to store and recall data quickly and easily? This seems like such an easy question but I just can't find anything that matches what I'm looking for.
