Prerequisites
To use the functionality provided by the BitcoinDatabaseGenerator tool, you must have access to blockchain data files like those maintained by the Bitcoin Core client. Other Bitcoin clients like Armory use Bitcoin Core under the hood and with those clients you will also have access to the Bitcoin Core blockchain data files.
As long as you have access to the Bitcoin Core blockchain data files you do not have any other dependencies on the Bitcoin Core itself or on any other Bitcoin client. For example you can copy the Bitcoin Core blockchain data files on another system and run the tool there.
By default, the blockchain data files are stored by Bitcoin Core at:
%appdata%\Bitcoin\blocks
On Windows 7 and later that is:
C:\Users\user_name\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin\blocks
You must also have access to a SQL Server that is installed remotely or on the same machine as the Bitcoin Core blockchain data files.
