I just finished a blog on publishing your database to a website. I wrote the
tutorial to cover the many who are not able to use the App_Data folder
"attach" method.
My tutorial is when you are publishing to a host that has given you a SQL
Server database on a separate machine. This scenerio is common with many
ISPs, who may also give you options like MySql, SQL Server and Access. If
your ISP gives you a separate SQL logon, this is the tutorial for you.

This is a bit different from the approach Jim Cheshire has taken, which is
to use the App_Data and "attach" to a SQL Express instance on a web server
through the config file. Jim's option is valid, if your ISP has it set up
that way and I would recommend doing it that way if you have the option.
