Yes you can use mySql in C# windows app, the same way you can in a web application - even the code and the process is the same. But each Windows PC running the app must have access to a MySql server, in the same way that the web server runnign a MySql using site must.

Which is "best"? I prefer Sql Server, purely on the quality of the Sql Server Management Studio - all the free tools for MySql were a bit rubbish, I felt. SqlYOG excepted, only that is now a limited free version and a pay-for "proper" product.

Use the .net connector to connect to MySQL.

"Better" is subjective. Pros and cons either way, and this isn't the right forum to debate.

Cheers.
