Re: [MDB] about test case framework

Hi,

sorry for my questions, I try to understand how the tests/drivers works.  At
the begining of driver contructor I have (from mssql.php) :

    function MDB_mssql()
    {
        $this->MDB_Common();
        $this->phptype = 'mssql';
        $this->dbsyntax = 'mssql';

        $this->supported['Sequences'] = 1;
        $this->supported['Indexes'] = 1;
        $this->supported['AffectedRows'] = 1;
        $this->supported['Summaryfunctions'] = 1;
        $this->supported['OrderByText'] = 0;
        $this->supported['CurrId'] = 1;
        $this->supported['SelectRowRanges'] = 0;
        $this->supported['LOBs'] = 1;
        $this->supported['Replace'] = 0;
        $this->supported['SubSelects'] = 1;

What means supported here: Supported by the driver, or supported by the
database. I mean a database can support a feature, but the driver does not
implement it ?

>From the test cases, I got for example :

mdb_usage_testcase : Starting testtransactions ...
Failure 1 : This database does not support Transactions expected true,
actual false
There were 1 failures for testtransactions
There were 0 errors for testtransactions

I understand it is normal that the test case print "This database does not
support Transactions", since this property is not even defined. But I don't
undestand "expected true". How the test know that it should be true?

Also, what is the complete preperty list that should be defined in each
driver? Here I think Transactions should be defined since mssql support
them.
