Testing with databases can be tricky. If you are developing a system
|
||
|
|
married to a single database then you can make some assumptions about
|
||
|
|
your environment and ask the user to provide relevant connection
|
||
|
|
information. But if you need to test a framework that uses DBI,
|
||
|
|
particularly a framework that uses different types of persistence
|
||
|
|
schemes, then it may be more useful to simply verify what the framework
|
||
|
|
is trying to do -- ensure the right SQL is generated and that the
|
||
|
|
correct parameters are bound.
|
||
|
|
DBD::Mock makes it easy to just modify your configuration (presumably
|
||
|
|
held outside your code) and just use it instead of DBD::Foo (like
|
||
|
|
DBD::Pg or DBD::mysql) in your framework.
