Archive: connect to MS SQL server without client utilities installed


connect to MS SQL server without client utilities installed
Hi!

I would like to connect to MS SQL server during my installation and execute some scripts.
Problem is that a client might not have MS SQL utilities installed.

Any suggestions?


You can try running osql from your installer using nsExec.


If the SQL Server has IIS running and the .NET framework, then you could execute the SQL through an ASP page.
