I have created - installed and tested my custom module package created on fresh 5.3.1 DNN installation.
I am having one query - My module also interact with a separate database.
So, Is there any possibility that I create the script of that separate database and add in the module package?
Basically, I want to create that database and tables, SPs in it while installing my custom module in DNN.
IS that possible?

Theroetically yes, as the SqlDataProvider files can run scripts for you, you could include the script to create a new database, however, that is going to require that DNN be running under a user account that has enough permissions to actually create Databases, which typically is NOT something that is done.

I recommend that if you really need a new database, to have that setup done OUTSIDE of the module.
