Just a thought... In the past, I decided to put database management out of the installer Wix-part. The installation of the database was not the issue, but once you need to maintenance the troubles start. You'll need to determine the database version, make the necessary upgrades to the database structure and data, provide a database backup option, allow creation of new database instead of physical migration of existing, ... These kind of things make your installation script very complex (counting the case where you allow a migration from old versions (ex 1.0 to 3.0 with 2.0 skipped).
To make the link to the installer, I provided a dbase feature in the setup. This caused a custom action to launch the database manager with specific parameters passed from the Wix script... In your case, it is also possible to call a custom action for the database handling. >----- Oorspronkelijk bericht ----- >Van : Bob Arnson [mailto:b...@joyofsetup.com] >Verzonden : vrijdag , februari 27, 2009 02:05 AM >Aan : 'General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.' >Onderwerp : Re: [WiX-users] SqlDatabase with multiple data files? > >Joe Colon wrote: >> do multiple file database creation still unsupported as of today?
