Hi Daniel, sorry for chiming in late. But better a late response than none ;-)

How do I test these? In the further parts of your email, you exposed some of the structural problems we face when trying to setup the required databases, ... at run^Wtesttime. However, we actually do not need those databases and tables for testing. For testing, it would be sufficient to have mock database objects [1] that pretend that there are underlying databases, tables, etc. Those mocks would return the very values that our database objects would return if those databases, tables, etc existed. Thereby, we could skip the hassles of setting up a second database or additional tables etc. Yippie! We'd just have to initialize the mock. Best regards, Christian [1] I am well aware of sounding like a broken record, as I already suggested mocking the database some time ago when discussing performance issues for tests https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2012-June/061469.html But this reference is just to show that going down the database mocking road would solve both problems at once. -- ---- quelltextlich e.U. ---- \\ ---- Christian Aistleitner ---- Companies' registry: 360296y in Linz Christian Aistleitner Gruendbergstrasze 65a Email: christ...@quelltextlich.at 4040 Linz, Austria Phone: +43 732 / 26 95 63 Fax: +43 732 / 26 95 63 Homepage: http://quelltextlich.at/ ---------------------------------------------------------------
