Best Database choice for a web service?

Member 8015046 asked:

Open original thread
I am a CS student who is becoming a sophomore. Currently I am working as a summer intern and I need help. My supervisor is ok for me using this website because he is busy with his own work. So I am only doing trivial work.

I have a class library that has a web refrence of my web service I made.
He told me that this web service is going to be used alot.

So I made the web service and I needed it to retain it's information through OS refreshing the service. So I made an SQL server Database. He said he is worried that the SQL server Database might be the bottleneck of the program. He said, try to make it so we don't have to use a database. And he said something about memory.

So my question here is. Which is the best choice to use if I need something to be very fast and use the least amount of memory so the server don't crash.

SQL server Database? or
An embedded database engine (DBF.NET Link[^])? or
In-memory database (SQLite Link[^])
