如何将 SQL Server 2019 Express 添加为 Visual Studio 中的先决条件？

Question

I am using a Visual Studio Setup project. How can I add SQL Server 2019 Express as a prerequisite?

It includes only SQL Server 2012 Express. But I also need to implement SQL Server 2019 Express.

Answer 1

I don't believe that SQL express is part of, and can be installed along side Visual Studio.

If you want to use SQL express (in place of local db), and I STRONG recommend that you do use + install SQL express?

Then you have to go get, and download and install SQL express. And while you doing that, you might as well go ahead and install SQL management studio. (and the express version these days is rather nice - even includes the sql profiler tools).

So, you can't choose, nor have Visual Studio install say Excel, Word, power-point, SQL server or some accounting package, or some PDF viewer?

If you need and want these other applications?

You have to go get them, and install them - such installs of such software is 100% outside the realm of Visual Studio and what it has for options to be installed.
