What do you mean you don't want to use a file system; where do you think databases keep their data? If you think you can create your own then be prepared for a good few years of development.

You should use MySql that is Open Source and is free of cost.

You cannot create your own database.

Forgive me saying this, but forget it. Didn't you wonder why are the expensive ones so expensive if it would be so easy to develop one?
First off all, you need to determine your requirements, and your licensing constraints, than look for a solution. There are several open source and free database engines that have ado.net provider, even linq support.
Here are some:
Microsoft SQL Server Express[^]
Firebird[^]
MySQL[^]
PostgreSQL[^]
Oracle express[^]

And let's not talk about non-relational, not sql based servers, and embedded (not client-server) editions...
