The development of databases and the applications that access them are important functions; and it is essential that the programs constructed meet the requirements defined, so that it all operates as intended.

Very interesting info and approach to test-driven database development. A full solution to Db TDD is supplied. Definately worth reading and understanding the author's view on this topic, which is so often negleted in projects, mostly due to the lack of knowledge and experience in database testing.

When that tide goes out, we centralize, establish command and control structures, and attempt to find efficiencies in large batches and long queues. When the water starts to come back in, we break down those structures, start to drive control down into the hands of 'common' folk, and attempt to find efficiencies in the quick decisions that get made by people closest to the problem. The tide is coming back in and will probably continue to ebb that direction for the lifespan of anyone alive at the time of this writing.”
