There's no such thing. Trying to access the SQL database directly means you're trying to code an SQL server.
Use SQL Desktop Engine or SQL Express which you can re distribute with your package so that when the client installs your software it automatically installs the SQL server as well.

installing the sql server on the client machine is not only just grabbing a service and running on the client i guess !! to do take the sql server to the client how do i do it ! ?? ok or is there a better solution my databse contain 2.3 million records

Use MS SQL DESKTOP ENGINE or MS SQL EXPRESS which you can redistribute with your application. Both of them supports unattended installation so the client wouldnt know that it was installed.
Else you can use MySQL or MySQLi database which can be redistributed as well.
Or if its static data, use a MS ACCESS database to store the data.
