I’m primarily an ASP.NET developer and I’m hoping to move a few projects to Codeplex and open them up to the community. Most of my applications are database-driven, so I’m faced with the question of how I should deal with the database. Should I post the schema and expect contributors to build/host their own database? Should I include a database file in the project? Should I find a way to host a community database?
Your thoughts?
I think posting scripts to create the database, and populate any needed data would be sufficient. I don’t think it’s too much to expect for people to get SQL Server Express, or some other free database, and host their own copy of the database.
