Pointedly, I have added in (not yet committed, tho) multibyte and namespace mangling tests. It's not all working yet, which is why I haven't committed it to CVS, but it's on its way. What is unfortunate, at this point, is that there are cases which we can expect to break in particular ways; it would be good to verify that Slony-I refuses them properly. For instance, if you have a Really Long cluster namespace name, auto-created PK fields start breaking; I have added a check for 1.2 which refuses to allow the Really Long cluster name. Unfortunately, things we expect to break aren't nearly as easy to test :-(. At present, we have about a dozen "duct tape" tests which cover a fair bunch of scenarios; that probably doesn't require 12 separate test cases, in an "automated run-them-through" system, though... _______________________________________________ Slony1-general mailing list [email protected] http://gborg.postgresql.org/mailman/listinfo/slony1-general
