Is there something like HSQLDB (for Java) which can be run in a storage-in-file mode for C#/.NET 3.5?

+4  A: 

SQL Compact Edition (I guess)

That sounds great, does SQL Compact supports an user management?

Nope, encryption and password protection is all you get.You will need to look at SQL Express for security features.

Oh, but that's all i need. So i can encrypt and have password protection. That nobody else can look into. Thank you very much.

I'm not totally sure about your requirements, but you could try SQLite.

It's working quite nicely for me as unit test DB with NHibernate, a scenario that is fairly common. However that is even an in-memory situation but against file should be working, too.

Sorry that i didn't mentioned it before: SQLite sadly doesn't support an user management system, it's to easy to look into with another tool.
