Markus For Ingres, it is probably not possible to create a new instance in an automated way, because (unlike MySQL, say) the scripts which do so are only part of the distribution package (rpm or tar) and are not in a standard installed system. If tests are run as the Ingres user (default 'ingres') then a new schema can be created within the existing instance. --Toby > regards, > Markus > > -- > Markus Hoenicka > http://www.mhoenicka.de > AQ score 38 > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ Libdbi-drivers-devel mailing list Libdbi-drivers-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/libdbi-drivers-devel
