If we make a project using C# and SQL Server on a system, and then if we want to use the same project on a different system, .NET framework needs to be installed on the new system, but do we have to insatll the database as well?

You need to have SQLServer installed on the host of the database only.

If your project is a client application, you do not need SQL Server installed on the client machine.

If your project utilises a local database, i.e. a single user type database solution, then you need sql installed locally.

[It is a bit worrying that you are developing database applications and are asking questions like this :sigh: ]
