Just some (and thanks for that). But there are still a few with custom ok() subs and some others using the plain Test module.
Tim.
Make that 2 less tests doing the funky stuff, this is actually going a lot faster than I thought it was going to.
Yeah. (Though writing more tests is bound to be more challenging than tidying up the old ones :)
Yes, I agree, new tests are going to require more knowledge than I currently have of the inner workings of DBI, so I am doing some "light" reading to catch up.
I hope you dont mind, I am also re-arranging the order of some of the tests and adding comments, I am trying to group things together logically, so its easier to document what each test file covers.
Not at all! I was hoping you would.
In addition, in 01basic.t I added tests to check *all* of the exported
:sql_types and :sql_cursor_types as opposed to just the spot checking
that existed already. Actually in doing this, I realized that the
SQL_BIGINT symbol is not exported by DBI.pm, but is found in dbi_sql.h,
is this supposed to be this way? Or did I uncover a bug/typo?
SQL_BIGINT was never well supported by databases and has been removed from the SQL standard, so I've just left it lying in a dusty corner of the DBI hoping no one will notice it :)
Ok, well I will make a note of this in the test.
Thanks
Steve
