Hi All,

I'm wondering what the common idiom is for unit testing w.r.t. data and 
transactions...

So, coming from my ZODB background, in unit tests we usually:

- set up the objects required
- run the code to be tested (which might change, add or delete objects)
- abort the current transaction so no changes are saved and everything 
goes back to how it was prior to the start of the test

What's the equivalent in sqlalchemy-land?

How do I get test data needed for a specific test to exist for only that 
test?

How do I abort changes made by a test in a unittest.TestCase sublcasses 
tearDown method?

What do I do if the app framework I'm using goes and does a commit as 
part of the unit test? (I wish it wouldn't... ;-) )

(this is in the context of a Pylons app if that makes things easier/harder)

cheers,

Chris
