What do you mean with an installer for sql databases?
|||The two popular methods to package a database are:
1. as empty database backup file
2. as a t-sql script
Microsoft actually employs the second method for their database deployment. You can take a look at "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Install\instnwnd.sql" file for an example of Northwind database delivery.
|||I am desigining a small database for my application. The users who use my application, I want to let them install the sql database too. Just like .msi packages u have for web applications, where you get the gui to install the application, I am wondering if you can do the same way or some other better approach to do this.
|||Take a look at sqlexpress redistribution.
