I cretaed my first DNN compiled project. Along with normal Install & Uninstall scripts, an additional SQL Script file with the name

ProjectName.SqlDataProvider was created having following contents:

/************************************************************/
/*****              RegisterModule                      *****/
/*****                                                  *****/
/***** Use this script to register a module in the      *****/
/***** database using Query Analyzer                    *****/
/************************************************************/

exec {databaseOwner}[{objectQualifier}AddDesktopModule]
  @ModuleName = N'Test',
  @FolderName = N'Test',
  @FriendlyName = N'Test',
  @Description = N'A Test module',
  @Version = N'01.00.00',
  @IsPremium = 0,
  @IsAdmin = 0,
  @BusinessController = N'YourCompany.Modules.Test.TestController',
  @SupportedFeatures = 3

declare @DesktopModuleId int
select @DesktopModuleId = DesktopModuleId
from {databaseOwner}[{objectQualifier}DesktopModules]
where ModuleName = 'Test'

and so on. What is this script file for?? DNN registers the module automatically when uploaded by Host. When is this script executed by DNN during module installation process??

If this is for uploading modules manually, then can I safely delete it as I always upload modules via DNN Host menu, or is this required somewhere else???

Does that mean, I can safely delete this script file??

If I leave it as is without deletion, is there any chance of DNN picking it up automatically & executing it during installation (I dont think so, as it's name is not on the lines of a standard script file, its name is YourProjectName.SqlDataProvider. And till now, I have not encountered any documentation which says such files are executed. I only know xx.xx.xx.SqlDataProvider files to be executed automatically by DNN subject to version requirements).
