This don't make any sense.  Are your taking about sharing the actual mdb files or access the service itself???  This question is just confusing.   

I have SQL Server 2000 that runs our website and other older applications. we are moving off of it but we have lots of people using the services via ADO.Net, ODBC, OLE-DB and COM.  There are all kinds of API interfaces to pick from to get to SQL server.  

Are you talking license limitations you are running into? There are big restrictions in that front.  SQL Server Express is hard coded on its limitation on the number users it can sever at any given point.  Now MS SQL Server Standard/Enterprise  can be purchased in a couple of different client license modes and i'm way behind on what the current configuration options are.


>>One can access only from a system where it is already installed but not on the system where there is no sqlserver.Is postgresql similar to sql server or does it supports >>network sharing i,e one one can access postgresql from any system irrespective on which system it is installed.

Again What are you talking about?  The actual files or access to the Service/Port???


Your Questions are confusing can you clarify
I'm guessing at what you mean???
