hi,
using sockets all the data go in the same way (i.e. just byte array) the difference in parsing it , you can convert it to string or to bool or to what ever you want
to send sql statment that mean you know the fields you gonna ask for it, like for example "select name, age from person where name...etc" you know the fields so you know the datatypes, the only problem that you will face is the datalength, you can use delimiters between fields and another one between records
if this program will deal with just databases i guess its better to use the sqlserver , its allready server you don't need to write server program
hope this helps
