I thought I was quite clear :/
By the Sql Client you mean the Sql Server Native Client? If not what are you on about? "Sql Client" could mean alot of different things.
If you are on about the Sql Server Native Client then my original answer still applies. Read the link.
Yes, you can access Sql Server without the Sql Server Native Client installed, but with reduced functionality.
Here's what functionality you get for using the Sql Server Native Client:

The SQL Server OLE DB provider and ODBC driver, plus associated network libraries, are part of MDAC (Microsoft Data Access Components) for SQL Server 2000 and earlier. At least MDAC 2.6 is required for accessing SQL Server 2000.
Since Windows 2000, MDAC is part of the operating system. Windows 2000 shipped version 2.5 so requires updating to access SQL Server 2000. Windows XP SP2 ships the latest redistributable version 2.8 SP1. Windows Server 2003 SP1 ships with MDAC 2.8 SP2 which is not available separately. Basically, on Windows XP or later you don't need to install extra software to access SQL Server 2000 or earlier.
The .NET Framework implements the SQL Server access protocol natively, but requires the network libraries from MDAC.
You can access SQL Server 2005 using the SQLOLEDB provider for ADO/OLE DB, SqlConnection from .NET 1.1, and the SQL Server ODBC driver. However, the old provider does not support many new features of SQL Server 2005. To get full functionality, you need to install and use SQL Native Client (for ADO/OLE DB/ODBC), or use .NET Framework 2.0 or later.
For ADO/OLE DB, specify SQLNCLI rather than SQLOLEDB. For ODBC, use the 'SQL Native Client' driver rather than the 'SQL Server' driver.

Sir!
I am trying to develop a computer based Result Tabulation System for the school I work in.
I have designed the tables for Teachers, Classes, Students etc. but am stuck with the design of tables for exam system itself. Can you please guide me as to how better it could be done?
The examination system of school is as follows.
1. There are Two Terms in an academic year
2. There are two Bimontlhy's(BM) in each term
3. There are Four Class works(cw), One Oral Project(OP) and One Assessment Test(AT) in one Bimonthly
4. The aggregate of all the class works and OP and ATs make one Bimonlthly
Its Like
cw1+cw2+cw3+cw4+OP+AT = BiMonthly(BM)
5. The aggregate of two Bi Monthly and Term Exams make A Term Assements
and
BM1+BM2+First Term Exam = First Term
I am wondering as how to make normalized tables and avoid any anomalies.
Should I make separate tables for Classworks like
tblClasswork: cwID, cwname, cwshort
1 , Classwork1, cw1
and same for AT and OPs.
and them make a table for Bimonthly to Put CWID in it ...
and then for term?
I have also tried to create a table named
tblExamData with fields: stuID, teacherID, subjectID, sessionID, cwID, opID, atID, bmID, termID
but it won't serve the purpose coz it will store the information about CWs, Ops and Ats not the obtained marks of the students.
I have also tried to change it like
tblExamData: stuID, teacherID, subjectID, sessionID, cwID, cwMarks, opId, opMarks, atID, atMarks, bmID, bmMarks, termID, termMarks.
but then there may be some update, delete anomalies.?
what to do with it?
I apologise for this long write up but i am writing in a hope to get a better guideline.
thank you
regards,

I'm not sure if I should be posting this here or in one of the .net forums.
I'm trying to get data from two access tables:
tblFoo
FooID FooText
1 Text1
2 Text2
3 Text3
...
lnkFoo
FooID1 FooID2
1 2
1 3
2 7
...
I want to get the FooText for every row in lnkFoo eg:
Text1 Text2
Text1 Text3
Text2 Text7
...
Using the Configure Data Adaptor wizard I can get both FKs from lnkFoo and the FooText value for either FooID1 or FooID2 by putting both tables in the query builder and dragging to link either FooID1 or FooID2 in lnkFoo to FooID in tblFoo, but if I create links to both FK's in lnkFoo no records are returned.
The nonworking query that is generated looks like this:
SELECT lnkFoo.FooID1, lnkFoo.FooID2, tblFoo.FooText, tblFoo.FooID
FROM (lnkFoo INNER JOIN
tblFoo ON lnkFoo.FooID1 = tblFoo.FooID AND lnkFoo.FooID2 = tblFoo.FooID)

You have to explain to them [VB coders] what you mean by "typed". their first response is likely to be something like, "Of course my code is typed. Do you think i magically project it onto the screen with the power of my mind?" --- John Simmons / outlaw programmer

Putting a second copy of the table into the query designer and linking FooID1 and FooID2 to different instances of tblFoo worked. Is there a more graceful way to do this though?

Has anybody out there come across problems when trying to search a DB of person names, when those names contain non-standard characters? I've got a DB full of Irish names, a generic search function in my app, and the user is complaining that he can't search independent of fadas. I.E., For the name Ciarán Martin, if he searches for ciaran it doesn't return a row.
This must be an issue in other countries too, I mean all you German developers, come on, with the weird S and the umlaut... How do you get around this? Or is the only way to implement a character map in the .NET code, for all the specific characters in question, to their lower case standard alphabet equivalents? I really really don't wanna do that....
All the dude ever wanted... was his rug back.

You need to disable accent-sensitivity in the column's collation. You can do this with the ALTER TABLE table ALTER COLUMN statement.
Generally you replace AS (for Accent Sensitive) in the name of the collation with AI (for Accent Insensitive). So if the collation is now Latin1_General_CI_AS (Windows collation, uses 1252 character set, general dictionary sort, case insensitive, accent sensitive), you should change it to Latin1_General_CI_AI.

Do any one know the tool for migrating the MS Access functions to Oracle Procedures/Functions.

Do you mean the SQL code behind the queries or do you mean VB6 functions?

Either using SQL or C#/ADO.NET is there a way for me to "probe" a stored procedure to return the names of its input parameters to my code?
Thanks.

In Sql Server theres atleast 2 different ways to achive this 
|
|
|
|

I assume your talking about sql server?
If it's 2005 you want to use the System Views:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=2ec9e842-40be-4321-9b56-92fd3860fb32&displaylang=en[^]
If it's 2000 you want the system tables:
http://www.microsoft.com/sql/prodinfo/previousversions/systables.mspx[^]
Unfortunatly I dont have a link handy on how to use them, but they are pretty straight forward and will provide all you need 
Edit: just spotted this article. It looks old but relivent:

Edit: I also forgot to tell you about DMO and SMO 
SMO (Sql Management Objects) in 2005, is a set of objects you can use in .Net that retrive a lot of information about Sql Server and allows you to perform admin operations. They definatly allow you to list the stored procs and all the details about them. A little warning when used with a complex database the SMO's can require a fair bit of tweaking to perform well but it's well worth it if you need that much control.
DMO is similar and used in 2000. I've never personally used DMO so you'dh ave to look into what it can achive.
