Note:

This Framework need SQL Server because it use Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo which contains the instance object classes that represent SQL Server Database Engine objects and some utility classes that represent specific tasks, such as scripting. When a connection to the instance of the SQL Server Database Engine has been established by using a Server object variable, objects on the instance can be accessed by using the SMO instance objects.
