Hi,

Does anyone else write unit-tests?

I'm trying to unit-test my code, and it's hard.

In a normal JDBC environment, using JUnit, I'd setup a database in the
setUp() method, and delete the mess I'd made of it in the tearDown()
method.

With an O/R mapping layer between me and the database I can't just play
with the data - it isn't mine any more. I can't just add or delete a record
from a table because there may be things I don't know about - index tables,
references, whatever - and if there isn't now, there may be in the future.
The point of having an O/R tool is to encapsulate the DB, the downside is
that this makes it difficult to test.

So, what does everyone else do for their testing?

Cheers,

Bryan
