Hi all,

We have a small office network consisting of 6 workstations and a server. I want to know if it is possible to be able to run sql server from the workstations and host the created sql databases on the server rather than an individual pc? If so how do i do this?

Thanks

Yes.

==========================================
Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.

You have a network so presumably they are all connected.
Just connect to the machine name of the machine with sql server installed- i.e. put that name in the connection string.
You will have to add the login for the user to the server too.

The fun part is allowing the server to accept the connection - that will depend on the version of windows and how your network is set up.
Try it first and see what happens.
You can use the profiler to check whether a login is being attempted and which which login name.
