Hi All,
Bit of background First :
So i have been tasked with the set up of a database to manage data validation externally to a system that is already in place.
I am not fully sure where to start, my experience with sql server is via a sql express which i used for data mining and analysis purposes. i have also got experience using visual studio , which i have created applications that connect to an external DB passing information backwards and forwards. . however the DB's have always been on a copy of sql express on my machine (local)
my question is if the location for the DB is on a share drive, do i need a copy of sql server installed to manage the db of can a external program query the tables and call the stored procedures based just upon the db file created and saved on the drive ?
thanks in advance
