Consider Using the SQL Extension documented here:

http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/xsd/sql/

This removes the need to run the Executable afterwords.  Specifically, use the
SqlScript Element and Insert or Update your new data using T-SQL  
Scripts.  You can test them by running them is SSMS before packaging  
them.
