Writing some software that will be database intensive. Looking to switch to C#. Is C# good for databases?

I would say no. C# is Microsoft. Microsoft is Access or FoxPro database. In any event, all of the real databases use some dialect of SQL. You query the mother lode to get a report table of the selection you want.





Really and truly, if you can use java. Download the NetBeans package with java 6. You can have a database connection (Derby) in 10 minutes.





You can install MySQL if you want MySQL and there are several other options. It boils down to what dialect of SQL you want to learn.





You then would consult your choice of java database books to learn databases. Databases are a science separate and apart from code-monkeys.





The MS approach is VB for the GUI, an ODBC dll driver for the database you have purchased and installed. You will be limited. You still populate with TABLE you still QUERY for REPORT using SQL syntax.
