  • Thoughts on Testing SQL Result Sets

    pgTAP: The Critique I’ve been continuing hacking on pgTAP in order to add a lot more schema-testing functionality and a few other niceties. But back when I started the project, I using it to write tests for CITEXT, which was great for my sanity as I developed it, but proved a bit controversial. In a pgsql-hackers post, Tom Lane wrote:

    I’m pleased to announce that, after much thinking, committing, and not an insignificant amount of hair-pulling, pgTAP 0.22 has finally landed. Download it here. Many, many thanks to all who commented on my previous posts, made suggestions, and helped me on IRC to figure out how to get all this stuff to work. The crazy thing is that it does, quite well, all the way back to PostgreSQL 8.0.

    Regular readers will know that I’ve been thinking a lot about testing SQL result sets and how to how to name result testing functions, and various implementation issues. I am very happy to say that I’ve now committed the first three such test functions to the Git repository. They’ve been tested on 8.4 and 8.3. Here’s what I came up with.

    I’ve just arrived in Japan with my family. We’re going to be spending several days in Tokyo, during which time I’ll be at the JPUG 10th Anniversary PostgreSQL Conference for a couple of days (giving the usual talk), but mainly I’ll be on vacation. We’ll be visiting Kyoto, too. We’re really excited about this trip; it’ll be a great experience for Anna. I’ll be back in the saddle in December, so for those of you anxiously awaiting the next installment of my Catalyst tutorial, I’m afraid you’ll have to wait a bit longer.
