Complete Inno Setup and Pascal newbie here. I want to package a single .sql
file inside a setup.exe
.
The setup will be available for download so I can't embed any connection strings within the setup project. The setup basically installs an .NET CLR assembly (dll as hex stream) into the supplied SQL server database by running a simple .sql
script
I've seen the other posts on here about connecting to an SQL server but none address my issue of a hardcoded connection string or replicating/implementing the generic Data Connection Dialog that pops up in all MS apps for making a DB connection
Ideally the creation of the connection string should be handled via the Data Connection Dialog that MS have released the code for http://archive.msdn.microsoft.com/Connection but have no idea how to link this to pop up during the install.
If not possible without (too much) effort then another option would be to have a custom cut down version of the dialog screen within Inno Setup with just the server name\path text box.
A checkbox to specify whether to use Windows or SQL server authentication (username/pass text boxes gets enabled when SQL authentication is selected)
At which point the connection is attempted and a drop down with the available databases appears.
I can get the server\instance text box working but have no idea how to implement the Windows authentication\SQL authentication combo box and subsequent actions
Tips?
edit: Thanks TLama, the MS supplied connection dialog UI seems like a no go then. I've gotten the 'appearance' aspect right using the Inno Setup form wizard, but some of the functionality still baffles me:
I have no idea how to
enable/disable the lblUser
, lblPassword
, txtUsername
, txtPassword
when chkSQLAuth.selected
is true/false.
enable the lstDatabase
combo box and label once there is content in the txtServer
textbox.
populate the lstDatabase
combo box using the credentials specified (connect to server and execute "SELECT name FROM master.dbo.sysdatabases WHERE HAS_DBACCESS(name) = 1 ORDER BY name"
) on click of the lstDatabase
.
Then enable the Next button when a database is selected.
I think once that's done I should be able to figure out how to execute my SQL script against the selected database!

Got it working. Here it is in case someone else wants similar functionality. Just change the link to the license and the .sql
