是否有python的数据库测试工具（如sqlunit）？

Question

Are there database testing tools for python (like sqlunit)? I want to test the DAL that is built using sqlalchemy

Answer 1

Follow the design pattern that Django uses.

1. Create a disposable copy of the database. Use SQLite3 in-memory, for example.

2. Create the database using the SQLAlchemy table and index definitions. This should be a fairly trivial exercise.

3. Load the test data fixture into the database.

4. Run your unit test case in a database with a known, defined state.

5. Dispose of the database.

If you use SQLite3 in-memory, this procedure can be reasonably fast.
