You can add SqlExpress Edition to your installer and deploy during the noramal installation of your project. Also you can put a backup to your database and during the installation process you can restore the blank database in the newly created database instance.

Solution 3

If your question is how to embed a SQL database into your application, thus you don't need to install a separate SQL server, try SQLite[^] or MySQL Embedded Server[^]

Solution 1

Your question is unclear. You can't make an executable app out of a DB, you have to write an app that can be run to access a DB. You can create an installer that installs a DB. Which did you mean ?
