Client/Server

[Jorge Ramirez]

I have to do a system using Client/Server Model in a local network. My question is: Should I use the SQL Server ?

Is there another option using only Professional VB 6.0?

You can create a client server system using just about any database (access, sql-server 7, oracle, sybase etc - even using flat-files).

VB4/5/6 allows you to talk to many different databases. Depending upon the Drivers for those databases, you can use the DAO, RDO or ADO database access methods available in VB.

As for database choice, that depends on how big/the number of users your database needs to handle.

Its not necessary to use SQL Server as ur backend, if u want to use the latest technology either use SQL Server or Oracle, else use MSAccess but for visual basic and ADO SqlServer,Oracle goes well.

You can use SQL, think about how big your solution should be, and what do you want to do in database
