which is the most suitable database for use in WPF web applications and how to integrate it.
Posted

A choice of database depends not so much on which programming language but rather on the requirements and what you / the client can afford.

For a small web application, using Oracle would not make sense - the administration costs would be high. MySQL would be a good choice.

Thus choose the database that is most suitable to you, but don't base this choice on the programming language.

Have a look at MySQL and SQL Express Editions (and maybe even MSAccess) to see if they fit your goals before going in for a full-fledged SQL server / Oracle database.

Not only on programming language... sound advice, my 5.
As to dependency... OP should understand separation of concerns. Please see my solution.

Have you ever heard of separation of concerns? Please read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_of_concerns[^].

WPF means "Windows Presentation Foundation", if someone is now aware of it. What should it have to do with databases? If different technological aspect created dependencies and specific preferences, we would not go far in development. The power of engineering, especially in programming, is the ability to freely combine solutions responsible for different aspects of functionality. Please think about it.

As to a selection of database management system, would you make a decision using your own criteria? Here is the comparison chart for you: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_databases[^].
