How do you create portable databases with MsBuild?

Question

I want to store in my solution a project containing the database creation scripts. When this project is built, it must generate a database file, which will then be used by this and other projects of the solution at the run time. How to do that?

I know I can add Pre-Build task, but I wonder:

• which command line can help me (maybe sqlite has a command line client?)
• will it need that I create an empty database file before running the scripts?

Answer 1

You can download the command line client shell for SQLite at http://www.sqlite.org/download.html

Then you can add the following Pre-Build task:

"sqlite3.exe" %dbFilename% < Database.sql

Answer 2

尝试访问数据库（扩展名：accdb）...它易于编辑，可以备份和使用Office访问..以及它的便携式..
