Please note that SQL Packager was retired on December 3rd 2014

Red Gate has now stopped selling SQL Packager. This means that additional copies of SQL Packager, and extensions to support contracts, are no longer available.
If you have a license for SQL Packager, it will still work and you can keep using it for as long as you like, but Red Gate won't be doing more work on the tool, so unfortunately...

SQL Packager

SQL Packager enables you to package the structure and contents of a Microsoft SQL Server database or database upgrade into a .NET executable file or a C# project, so that installing a database is much simpler. You can use SQL Packager to package the database structure, data, or both, for installation or deployment. SQL Packager also enables you to compress your package for reduced storage overheads, and faster deployment and distribution of databases. It is perfect for packaging up pre-existing SQL scripts, whether generated by SQL Packager or externally. This feature makes it very simple to save out a new creation script, modify it or add comments for your client, and then simply repackage the modified SQL script. You can use SQL Packager to package SQL Server 2012, 2008, 2005 and 2000 databases.

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.
