These are usage questions and the best place to discuss them is the wix-users
list (instead of this one).
Short answer: for MSI files, public parameters (names are entirely uppercase)
can be passed values on the commandline. You can retrieve those values through
the session in immediate custom actions where you can also set other properties
on the session as well as inform the user. Those custom actions must be either
DLL or script (script is discouraged) and you would need to chose between C++
(a very good library is supplied with WiX) or managed code (DTF is supplied
with WiX). The manual and the tutorial both discuss custom actions and how to
build them.

Version control is standard for application code, but databases havent
