Client side SQL instance for BCM

[itlogic]

I posted earlier that I have integrated BCM and OA 2008. I was able to move
the integreated database to an XP Pro machine that I call my server and put
the database in a different instance of SQLEXPRESS than the default MSSBIZ.

Anyway, I'm able to use the database on the server without having BCM or
OA2008 installed. All I need in the BCM Admininistrator tool from Microsoft.

So, I was abot to uninstall SQL from my client computers, or at least turn
of the service to SQL, but then I had a thought. I set the clients to use the
off-line database if I lose the connection or am on the road. I'm assuming if
I use the off-line database, then I still need SQL on my computer and the
service running?

By the way, if I disable the off-line database, would it be ok to uninstall
SQL or at least stop the service?
