Then they're screwed? As far as i'm concerned, the only real safe way to test database code is to give every programmer their own personal private executive database. Unfortunately, that's impractical in this environment (one of the few things i liked about using MySQL rather than Sybase on a previous system was everyone getting their own database without concern for licensing fees). But we do what we can. I want to at least *enable* unit testing with controlled data, even if i can't guarantee that developers won't trip over each other. -- David Stagner National Marrow Donor Program 3001 Broadway Street NE Broadway Ridge Suite 500 Minneapolis, MN 55413 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
