including SS2005 Express in "setup and deployment" of web site

  • Hi

    When creating a setup and deployment  project for a web site is it possible to

    include SS2005 Express tables and data? Can I also check if the SS2005

    Express engine is already installed on the web server and if not install the

    engine on the server?

    Pointers to tutorials and relevent links appriciated.

    Thanks for any help

  • Microsoft have created the database deployment toolkit which help you to deploy your database in a hosting company's server, if you are hosting it in house you can just backup and restore the database.  And no Express database does not include the relational engine because it is SQL Server just with limited features.  Try the link below for more about the database deployment toolkit.  Hope this helps.
