Distributing SQL Server Database Installations and Upgrades

    I am hoping for some guidance on how other companies deploy their database installations and upgrades on a large scale. Do you use any installer products? What have you found helpful? It seems to be a difficult task to handle, we've been attempting to use the custom actions in WiX so far.

    Thanks,

    Probably not the answer you were looking for, but we make our own... most of it is just custom scripting.

    The "real" SQL Server requires that it be installed on a Windows SERVER.  The only edition you can install on a non-Windows Server is the "Developers Edition" (same as Enterprise Edition but with different licensing).
