Hi,
I'm working on a project that's going to require me to connect to an instance of SQL Server installed on a machine other than my development machine (i.e. not localhost). I don't know as yet whether the machine i'm going to be connecting to is within the company's LAN or otherwise.
What do i need to ask IT support to install on my development box? I guess i'll need the .NET framework and either Enterprise Manager & Query Analyzer or SQL Server Management Studio but what else, if anything is required? A suite of client tools or something along those lines?
Thanks
Mat

I'm not going to be developing any application per say - I'm going to be connecting to SQL server from an existing finance application (by means of a config file that the application provides) and then running the stored procedures that i will write in order to retrieve data from SQL server into the finance application. The application will then use the data in various ways.
In order to write and test the stored procedures i will need SQL Server management studio and, as i ask in the original question, what client tools in general?
Thanks

Management studio to develop. Maybe the users will need the connectivity tools installed but you'll have to confirm this one.
I think you'll be set by then.

If you will be writing any CLR, you will want to verify that the correct version of .NET is installed. If your scope is solely within the stored procedure world, then the .NET may not be required, but it's better to have it and not use it, then not have it and need it.
