I noticed that there is some SQL support in Wix, but did not find
extensive documentation on this (or an example). At first glance my
guess is that this only works for SQL server installations. Does
someone have more information?
Yes, it's SQL Server-specific. We've talked about adding support for
non-MS databases, especially since both PostgreSQL and MySQL feature
installers built with WiX.<g> But so far, nobody's volunteered.
The setup is actually installing the entire MySQL database (after
reverse-engineering the MySQL setup), which also works great, but now
causes 4-5 min build times for light to compress all the files. I
have actually separated the mysql portions into a merge module , which
basically works and reduces the build to < 1 min, but now the custom
actions break, since the id that [#mysql.exe] references is in another
file - I get a missing foreign key error message from one of the ICE
checkers.
Unless you need to share the merge module, the easiest solution is to
create a Fragment instead of a Module. Use Lit to create a .wixlib that
contains all the files. Otherwise, you need to include all the related
files in the same module.
