[Question]: Would opt-in automatic schema setup for ADO.NET providers be considered?

[cholexa]

Context

When using ADO.NET clustering/persistence providers, setting up the database schema requires manually executing SQL scripts. While this is straightforward, it adds friction in CI/CD pipelines and containerized deployments where automation is preferred.

A couple of approaches that could work:

Option 1
Embed existing SQL scripts as assembly resources and execute them automatically based on configuration:

siloBuilder.UseAdoNetClustering(options =>
{
    options.ConnectionString = "...";
    options.Invariant = "Npgsql";
    options.AutoApplySchema = true;
});

Option 2
Ship pre-built migration bundles per database provider instead of raw SQL scripts. Users would run the bundle against their database before starting the silo — no SDK required, just a self-contained executable
