How to connect MS SQL database without using SQL server ?

Post by nileiqi » Thu 07 Feb 2008 03:32

Hi,

I would like to know whether it is possible to allow TMSConnection to connect to a database file without using server name. At moment, I have
to provide server name, database name...etc. that means my application can not work independently without SQL server. I guess there is a way
TMSConnection does not need SQL server but just a database file. Is it possible ? and How ? thanks.

No, SDAC has no such functionality. Please take a look at Microsoft SQL Server Compact.
