Solution 1

You need an embedded database engine.

If you are using SQL Server then try http://www.vistadb.net/[^] as it is a drop in replacement for it.

You can check out : http://www.sqlite.org/[^]

My suggestion is to create a windows service which enables you to know when a USB device has connected using System.Diagnostics.EventLog; That time you should connect to Db.

You should know more about event log:
