NO! this is wrong...

You just need to make sure that the database that you are connecting using ADO.NET is available for remote access. The database serve should be up and running and the SQL Server should be configured to allow remote connections (google 'Surface Area Configuration' if needed).

If you want the DB should be on your machine then you need to make sure that the server is accesible from remote servers. If you want to deploy DB on the local server then you can create a new DB on the PC using SQL DB scripts. For this have a look at it: http://www.firebirdsql.org/dotnetfirebird/create-a-new-database-from-an-sql-script.html[^]
