Using this, would it mean that no file is generated in the file-system?
Does this mean that all that temporary-folder/file jazz would not
be required?
In that case, you could even not have to clear-out the tables from
the previous test-run, as there wouldn't be any, right?
But it should still require clearing-out data between-tests, right?
And what about the schema-log file? Would that still have to be created? It
would seem redundant, as there would not be any use for it - unless
consecutive-tests are modifying the schema, and committing.
How would the life-cycle of such a db-object be managed?
If every test re-launches the model that defines the db-object, than it
would be created from scratch every time - in this case no schema-log is
needed at all, but this could be slower computationally - though the lack
of access to the file-system may override that shortcoming and actually
make it faster(?)
And also conditional-schema-creation may improve performance as well, as
because the db-schema is regenerated on each test, than each one could only
construct the tables it actually needs.
If the db-object is reused across-tests, and conditional-schema-creation is
applied, than how would the migrations happen? In this case it *would* need
a schema-log, right? That may override the benefit of the
conditional-creation, by having it need to access the file-system... So if
the db-object is still reused, but no conditional-creation is applied, than
it might take a bit more for the set-up faze, as it would generate all
tables, but than a schema-log could really be un-necessary - this could
give the best of both worlds - no re-creation of tables, AND no file-system
access - right? Can that be accomplished? I mean, generally, the way to
avoid using a schema-log, migrations are needed to be turned-off. But
Wouldn't athat prevent the dal from being able to even create the tables in
the first-place?
