Yes. You can do practically anything with NSIS, but for special tasks such as database control you'd want (need?) to find some commandline interface tools or plugins. There's an MSSQL plugin, for example.

ive looked for Plugins and agree it seems to have alot of what i need but cant seem to find a plugin to modify/add UDL/Datalinks files does this plugin or functionality exist in NSIS ?

Google tells me that UDL files are plaintext. You can use the text reading/writing (ini?) functions or filewrite etc.

Ive looked it up http: //msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/e38h511e%28VS.71%29.aspx it seems to be a text file but renamed .UDL I could include them in the install so i dont think i will need to create them Just modify do think its possible them being .UDL?
