installer

Hi,
We are working on a Windows Mobile 6.5 application. The application is already installed in some devices, and we need to distribute a new version with changes in the database schema (we added a few tables).
Is there a way to make a "patch" windows mobile installer that will replace the application and update the embedded SQL database with some scripts?
In a normal windows installer we would create a custom action in the installation process to apply the changes in the database, but I'm not sure how to do that for Windows Mobile
Thanks.
