It depends upon whether the application uses the DBISAM database server or not. If no, then your application will only need to either create the tables it needs from scratch or ship them with the application. DBISAM provides the ability to reverse-engineer tables using the provided Database System Utility so that in a couple of mouse clicks you can have a complete Delphi unit (.pas), C++Builder source file (.cpp and .h), or SQL script file (.sql) for creating your tables in code. If yes, then you'll need to make sure to install the DBISAM database server on the server machine and make sure that it is configured properly for use with the application. You will also have to ship a user configuration file with the database server, or remotely administer the server from your application to automatically add the appropriate databases, users, etc. You can find more information on remote database server administration here.
