Does anyone know of a SQL library in ASP.NET that can be used to manage tables?
E.g.
SQLTable table = new SQLTable(); table.AddColumn(“First name”, varchar, 100); table.AddColumn(“Last name”, varchar, 100); if(table.ColumnExists(“Company”)) table.RemoveColumn(“Company”);
The operations I am looking for are adding, editing and deleting tables, fields, indexes and foreign keys.
This can be done using SQL but it is messy, I am looking for a clean API that is intuitive to use.
Use Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo
Other option would be to install the Microsoft Sql Server Web Data Administrator
