No, you have to supply the user with the database. The .exe is just that - Executable code.

There are ways of storing data within an executable file but you would have to type it all in your self and the user would have no way of changing it.

A simple database may have a LIB that contains all the function to maintain the database so a VB or other language exe could contain the database engine.
