title: Connecting to a database from the beginning
body: <p>I have been working in a business writing advanced software apps, and obviously im provided with access to our SQL server and all the connection strings needed.This is fine for my job now - but what if i wanted to do this for a new (very small) business... If i wanted to purchase a small database server and set up a piece of software that talks to the databases on this server, how would i go about a) Talking and connecting to the server in code (c#) and b)What would i need regarding things like internet/phone connections etc to make this possible. </p>
  
  <p>Edit: the reason it would need a server is because it would need to be accessed from 2 or 3 different computers in different locations?</p>
