LocalDB boasts a minimal memory footprint with comprehensive features. Its complimentary nature is appreciated. Users highlight its use of the same client libraries as larger versions, including the Native client. LocalDB supports Stored Procedures, Geometry, Geography data types, and online backup. It offers a standard SQL management interface, robust reporting, compatibility with on-premise and cloud releases, and fast integration with Active Directory. The efficient connection between applications and databases is valued.
- "The most valuable feature of LocalDB is the connection between the application and DB."
- "This tool help us build apps quicker and faster."
- "The solution has powerful reporting features that are very valuable."
LocalDB has a storage limit of 10GB, limiting its use for larger databases. Users suggest that its ALM features and internal connection capabilities require enhancements. The management tools are regarded as too simplistic, needing more complex options to integrate custom scripts. Technical support is noted for needing quicker response times, and there is a desire for better integration. Being on-premise, updates are unnecessary, but its mixed-purpose nature leaves no flexibility for expansion.
- "The internal connection features of LocalDB could improve."
- "The solution needs to create a management tool. Right now, the solution has tools for creating a local installation, but it's too simplistic."
- "The ALM features can be improved, but the database by itself is reliable."
