You don't need SQL Server installed on the machine just to provide SQL connectivity...the drivers required to connect to SQL Server are installed as part of the framework.

If the target machine is connected to a network or can 'see' the machine that has SQL server installed, then just change the connection string to point at the SQL server instance

You then have a client (the machine running the program) connected to a server (machine running SQL Server), which is a classic design for application requiring database access

However, if you don't have a server \ shared machine running SQL Server and you want to use (localhost) in your connection string, then you will need SQL installed on the target machine
