SQL Server: Do my end users have to install it with my application?

79
Howdy :)

I can't seem to figure out some problems -

1st is that i can't seem to get notifications of replys when people reply to my thread/post :( why is not :( i have already set Instant Email Notifications in the options page :(

Now, something more confusing -
I had a question regarding SQL - i have never used it before but i do have much expereince using MySQL.

The thing i was wondering - If i created an application in VB.net or Visual C++ and i used SQL features in it - when i'm finished with the application (ready for public) will it be required for the users (public) to also install a SQL server on there computers in order for my app to work with the SQL functionality?

Please help me clear this confusion :)

Thanks in Advance

regardless of web or windows application in any language .. you have a Database server interacting with your application ... you need to configure a central database... all your clients wont have to install database... that would be ridiculous ...

This issue is being looked into.

I have edited the title of your thread to better reflect the problem you are facing. In the future please use a more descriptive thread title. This will help to get your question answered more quickly. It is best in include the language that you are developing with in the .NET forum...see how to get a faster answer to your question for more tips on better thread titles.

If you are developing a desktop application that uses SQL Server to store it's information, then yes, your users will have to install it.

If your desktop application remotely connects to an SQL Server that you are hosting, then no, your users will not have to install SQL Server on their machines.

If you are developing a web application the users will not have to install SQL Server because your web application will be using it.

It all depends on your system requirements and how you implement your solution.

Unfortunately, as the software currently stands, this setting is reset per thread as soon as you repost in the thread :(

The solution, if emails are necessary, is to edit your repost within the hour (while you're still able) and set the option again. It is an option on the edit post page.

Alternatively (works better if you're a regular visitor anyway) use the My Subscriptions link to see all your subscribed threads and who's responded to them last.

Thank you Frinavale & NeoPa :)

If you change it Instant Notification on the Subscriptions page, you need to select the CheckBox for each thread you want changed. If you do this the notification should change. Of course, it resets when next you post to the thread still :(
