Network and Database libraries?

  • "It is not necessary to use the Client Network Utility for programs that you are writing to communicate with SQL Server 2000.  It is used only for the tools that are installed with SQL Server 2000, such as the Query Analyzer.  The only thing that you need for your own programs to communicate with SQL Server 2000 is to have the network libraries and database libraries installed."

    What are network libraries and database libraries that i will need to install on client machines?

  • Network libraries depend on the types of network protocols you allow to conect to your SQL Server and are generally available in the Network setup. DB libraries are the client connection software. In the case of SQL these are found in the MDAC which you can find for download under http://www.microsoft.com/data. But each version of Windows (2000, XP, ME, 98 I believe) has a version already installed so it may be a matter of updating or already there.
