Can MSDE be used on computer in different cities? Say the server in Dallas
and the client computer in Houston. Or is the full SQL Server required?
MSDE is the desktop database, where it runs in not a question, it can
run were you install it based on the license restrictions. The real
question should be "How do I securely access a MSDE database running in
another city?"
As long as you properly follow the license restrictions you can install
MSDE anywhere.
As for connecting, use a VPN tunnel - do not directly expose the MSDE
(or any other service) to the internet unless you know security inside
and out. A VPN from one location to the other is painless to setup and
means that all of your data/connection is secure and not directly
exposed to the internet.
