There seems to be a huge overhead of running sql scripts from within windows installers so I'm playing with the idea of using skeleton databases stored in MDf/LDF files, I see there are sqlFileSpec elements that handle these but i can't get them towork yet, I'm not usinga script just 2 files and the database details in the parent sqldatabase element:
<SqlDatabase Id="SQLCreateMeterStreamDatabase2" Database="bob" Server="[SQLSERVERNAME]" Instance="[SQLINSTANCE]" CreateOnInstall="yes" DropOnUninstall="yes" User="MySQLUser" ContinueOnError="no"> <SqlFileSpec Id="bob" Filename="d:\bob.mdf"></SqlFileSpec> <SqlLogFileSpec Id="bob1" Filename="d:\bob_log.ldf"></SqlLogFileSpec> </SqlDatabase> Is this how they are expected to be used? -----Original Message----- From: Simon Topley Sent: 13 November 2009 15:07 To: 'wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net' Subject: RE: SQLScript hmmmm, it seems that you can run scripts that cahnge other databases outised of the sqldatabse element the scrit is inside of so maybe it'sa size issue. The script I'm trying to run is 16mb... about 300,000 lines of SQL. This takes about 3 minutes to run if you do it manually.. I've split the file up it 3mb files and they seem to work although the time required seems to be huge compared to just running the sql scripts from within SQL server management studio. is this a known issue? -----Original Message----- From: Simon Topley Sent: 13 November 2009 09:54 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: SQLScript Hello again team, I've got another issue with some SQL scripts I'm trying to run. I have a large collection of scripts all of them work as they each refer to a specific database....however I have one big script that updates tables in multiple databases so I can't put it in one specific SqlDatabase element. any ideas? Or will this script need to be split into many parts?
