You want to make a setup with database? check this
How to deploy C# windows application With Sql Server?[^]

Or you want to give him an update to do changes in existing database? Couple of ways
0) Make a database script file & you could directly execute that
1) Create a batch file & execute the database script using sqlcmd Utility[^]
2) Make a simple UI form which connects the existing database, in button click call the execute database script file

Now you decide which one is secure/better for you.
