All required SQL-NS components are installed as part of a Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2000 server installation. SQL-NS is implemented in a single dynamic-link library (DLL). You may develop SQL-NS applications on either a client or a server. When using an OLE Automation controller as a development platform, such as Microsoft Visual Basic®, no additional files are required. Application development using C or C++ requires the SQL-NS header files.
SQL-NS sample applications, which provide additional reference material for SQL-NS application development, are included with SQL Server.
