SQL Packager works by scripting and compressing the entire database – schema and data together – and packaging it up as a deliverable .exe file. It does this by scripting separate transactions for schema and data respectively. Highly customizable options enable you to generate package scripts to exactly fit your needs.

When migrating databases, all schema objects, all new tables and their data as well as data with unique indexes or constraints are also scripted.

Installing, updating, or distributing your database now becomes a simple point-and-click procedure. Deploy SQL Server databases, and your applications that depend on them, with no manual scripting. Exploit the command line options to automate the installation of database updates remotely.

By letting you compress your packaged database, you can reduce storage overhead and distribute it faster and more easily. SQL Packager also makes it easy to archive your database, and is an excellent solution for making a backup of your database where you don't have SQL Server administration rights.
