(wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net) Subject: [WiX-users] SqlExtension bug with existing databases All, http://www.wixwiki.com/index.php?title=SqlExtension states: There is a serious bug with how the SqlExtension handles the SqlDatabase Element when creating a database. If a database with the same name already exists it will always be dropped. At this time it is not recommended to use the SqlExtension to create databases. Our testing suggests that this bug has been resolved sometime in the three years since that statement was written. Can someone quickly confirm that for us? We are using 3.0.5419. Thanks, Michael C.
