Maybe we should look at the db's we can (or want to) test ourselves ?
Eg must we support mysql 3.x, 4.x and 5 ? Oracle 8, 9 and 10 ? etc..
Maybe requesting a wiki to add this kind of information to state who has
covered what ?
I think, it should be possible to setup something automatic, eg. a
test run against a particular database generates an XML file
containing the test results (probably extracted from the XML files
generated by junit & combined with the used jdbc.properties file)
which in turn is integrated into the documentation where it then can
be checked-in. This way, we have automatic up-to-date information in
the docs. WDYT ?
Automatic is always better. I'll add that one to JIRA if your ok with that.
Also for these integration tests, it would be simplest to have the same credentials for each
database setup we test on. Eg the default administrator user, with password x, always using a
localhost, default port and the same databae name (eg ddlutils). This way too much maintenance and
confusing overrides can be avoided.
