Anybody know of a free VB compatible database?

I'm trying to find a database I can download for free that'll work w/ VB 5 or 6, to get by on until I can buy something more suitable. Anyone know of any such animal? Thanks.

Hi,

Why not psoracle81698.zip from Oracle? It's free but a huge download. Another solution, if you have VB, why don't you just create your own Access2000 DB?

Taken from MSDN library:

Creating a Database
Before tables or other objects can be defined, the database itself must be created. The following code creates and opens a new Microsoft Jet database.

DAO

Sub DAOCreateDatabase()
   Dim db As DAO.Database
   Set db = DBEngine.CreateDatabase(".\New.mdb", dbLangGeneral)
End Sub

ADOX

Sub ADOCreateDatabase()
   Dim cat As New ADOX.Catalog
   cat.Create "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
      "Data Source=.\New.mdb;"
End Sub

Bye.
