is there any method or function or anything else to connect database without installing sql server in vb.net (Client side)!!!!!!! 

Answer 1

That is the normal way, you have to know on what location it is located, if that is inside a by a Microsoft Server located Lan by using the Server and instance name and if that is outside that by using its IP name with Server Security.

Answer 3

You don't need to install sql server on the client to do this.  In fact, virtually nobody ever will, outside of development processes.

Answer 6

You can use Sql Server CE which does not require any installation.  It is an embedded database.  Check here:  http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sqlservercompact/

 

Answer 7

Khan,

Like I told you don't need anything to connect to an SQL server database (that is for Microsoft database servers, for instance for Oracle Servers you need to install client software, although my information around that is not very actual). 

For our website we use for the code an SQL database.

http://www.vb-tips.com/default.aspx

The Website is probably somewhere in Florida, while the SQL server is somewhere else in the usa, I don't never know where because Ken manages that.

I do updates for the database of this website using Linq to ET from my client at home in the EU (Europe).

I've nothing special installed beside the .Net which holds the Ado.Net classes to do that.

Answer 8

So you have to develop it with the file DB, like Access, SQL CE or SQLite etc. All these DB just has one file without any server we need to install.
