Then use SQL Server Express or LocalDB.

You do NOT have the option of not using an SQL Server. Period.

could use mySQL, or PostgreSQL... mySQL works well in windows if you can't host the DB on an alternate OS...

In all cases you still need the database server, what you've just described, and this is what the OP wants to avoid, which he can't.
