System.Data.SQLClient Question

[Buddy]

Hello,

I have two machines a server and a workstation, I've
installed SQL Server 2000 on the SERVER pc, will I need to
all install SQL Server 2000 Client on the workstation
machine for me to use the System.Data.SQLClient functions.

Can someone point me to any documentation stating this.

Thanks

You only need to install the .NET Framework on the client computers.
The .NET Framework includes the drivers to access SQL Server DataBases

Thanks for the reply, but would you know where I can find
some evidence to prove this.

just write a simple code, run it and see the proof by your own eyes.

Thanks for your lovely comment, I need an quick answer,
which is the reason I have not done this. For me to do
this I would need a clean machine that has never had SQL
Server 2000 Client installed, currently I do not have a
machine like that, so I was hoping for someone to point me
to the right direction with some documentation.

Thanks

This article

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...stsql_8lmb.asp

indicates that the SQL Client is installed by MDAC (Its already on all PC's for the most part. MDAC 2.7 is installed on XP and win 2003 servers, 2.5 is installed on Win 2000)

And the framework requires MDAC 2.7 be installed. per when you install the framework (Pre-requisites)

By the way MDAC 2.8 is now available as well...
