I'm giving my “Unit Test Your Database” talk for the Portland Extreme Programmers group next week. Might be interesting to see how they react to testing in the database.

In this talk, he’ll discuss techniques for unit testing all aspects of your database, from logical design and schema to stored procs. He has also put together a 90 min tutorial on pgTAP (a tool for unit testing in Postgres). If there’s time and interest after his main talk, he’ll pull out examples and tidbits from that.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; line-height: 17px; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><b>Where:</b> PSBA. 2828 SW.
