Is SQL Express free?

1

I need a database to use in a Xamarin Forms application for college. I got to create in Azure, but the limitation of 32 MB is very great because I need to store photos too. I gave one a lookup and saw that it has the Express version of SQL, which allows up to 10GB in the database.

Does this information work? Any other alternative or article to guide me?

The application has to be Xamarin Forms, but it has no definition of the database to be used.

The information comes in and does not make any difference where it will use, it is only important that the application can access the database.

But it seems that you are wanting the application to access the database directly, I would avoid this, at least for security reasons.

Unless you're talking about having the database on mobile, you should use SQLite or something similar, but I do not think that's what it is.

Using a free database does not mean that you will have free infrastructure.
