SQL Server 2000 Run times

[muddasirmunir]

Well , if we make an application with vb6 , we can just deploy and application run time components not complete vb6 and the application runs on client machine.

Similarly , for crystal report we can Install merge modules.

Is there any thing available same for SQL Server 2000 , so we donot have to install complete SQL Server 2000 on client machine , and just deploy some run time files and our database?

Are you trying to install a database on each client?

No , I know how to make clients or server etc.

Actully I want to know , let assume you make an application with vb6 , now when you deploy the application to another machine you donot have to Install vb6 on that computer, so a common person donot know this application is made with vb6 as there is no programe named vb6 install on their computer.

Same the case if you use MS Access with vb6, you just deploy run time component on client nor MS Access.

That does not happen with sql server 2000 ,(at least to my knowleget, might be I am wrong) , We must have to install sql server 2000 and either make server or or client.

So is this possible that we just deploy some components or some runtime files on client instead of installing sql server200.

Hope now you understand what I mean?

If your VB application requires a sql server database, you need to make it a client-server app.

Good Luck!!!
