I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.

As a result, one of the techniques for TDD teardown (leaving the database *exactly* as it was prior to the test)--using a BEGIN TRANSACTION in pre-test, and the ROLLBACK TRANSACTION in the post-test, won't work. Instead, you have to use the special .NET code to use transactions like that, or you have to do begin tran, setup, test, and rollback all in the "test" script.<br />~ Martin C.

I know some guys are using DbUnit or other xUnit test framework to perform DB unit testing. I also tried to use them in my projects, but at last I have to give up these tools because I don’t to like write too much code to compare two large record sets.

AnyDbTest is declarative style testing tool. You need not to program at all. What we do is to express what we want to test, rather than how to test. We only need to configure an Xml test file to tell AnyDbTest what we want to test. Rather than painstakingly writing test code for xUnit-like test framework. So AnyDbTest is the right choice for DBA or DB developers.

AnyDbTest also offers a visual dashboard. Success or failure of test is automatically computed and presented to us via an easy-to-understand red/green light display.

Features specific to AnyDbTest:
*Writing test case with Xml, rather than Java/C++/C#/VB test case code.
*Many kinds of assertion supported, such as StrictEqual, SetEqual, IsSupersetOf, Overlaps, and RecordCountEqual etc.
*Allows using Excel spreadsheet/Xml as the source of the data for the tests.
*Supports Sandbox test model, if test will be done in sandbox, all database operations will be rolled back meaning any changes will be undone.
*Unique cross-different-type-database testing, which means target and reference result set can come from two databases, even one is SQL Server, another is Oracle.
