Data is vital to most applications. So, it's likely that you'll want to set up a database at installation time to store data. The WiX Toolset gives us a mechanism to add a new instance of SQL Server and then add databases, table definitions, and data to it. In this chapter, we'll cover these common tasks and also touch upon how to set up an ODBC data source, which gives a standardized way for applications of various types to connect to the database.
