reduce the time by,
- Increasing the cab files count.
- lowering the compression ratio
- removing ICE validation
- reusing cabs
I was able to increase the cab files count and lower the compression

My understanding, this is the expected behavior. The component is being
rolled back, so if the component created the database on install, and a
rollback occurs, the database will be deleted to completely rollback the
entire transaction.
During an upgrade, you can't use that same sql:SqlDatabase
