tests for various functions of the database engine. Among these, the
<tt class="classname">TestSelf</tt> class performs the tests that are based on
scripts. To run the tests, you should compile the
<tt class="filename">hsqldbtest.jar</tt> target with Ant.</p><p>For <tt class="classname">TestSelf</tt>, a batch file is provided in the
testrun/hsqldb directory, together with a set of TestSelf*.txt files. To
start the application in Windows, change to the directory and type:</p><pre class="screen">
runtest TestSelf</pre><p>In Unix / Linux, type:</p><pre class="screen">
./runTest.sh TestSelf</pre><p>The new version of <tt class="classname">TestSelf</tt> runs multiple SQL
test files to test different SQL operations of the database. All files in
the working directory with names matching TestSelf*.txt are processed in
alphabetical order.</p><p>You can add your own scripts to test different series of SQL queries.
The format of the TestSelf*.txt file is simple text, with some indentation
and prefixes in the form of Java-style comments. The prefixes indicate what
the expected result should be.</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>Comment lines must start with -- and are ignored</p></li><li><p>Lines starting with spaces are the continuation of the previous
line</p></li><li><p>SQL statements with no prefix are simply executed.</p></li><li><p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>The remaining items in this list exemplify use of the
available command line-prefixes.</em></span>
</p></li><li><div class="informalexample"><p>The /*s*/ option stands for silent. It is used for executing
quries regardless of results. Used for preparation of tests, not for
actual tests.</p><pre class="programlisting">
/*s*/ Any SQL statement - errors are ignored</pre></div></li><li><div class="informalexample"><p>The /*c<rows>*/ option is for SELECT queries and
asserts the number of rows in the result matches the given
count.</p><pre class="programlisting">
/*c<rows>*/ SQL statement returning count of <rows></pre></div></li><li><div class="informalexample"><p>The /*u*/ option is for queries that return an update count,
such as DELETE and UPDATE. It asserts the update count
matches.</p><pre class="programlisting">
/*u<count>*/ SQL statement returning an update count equal to <count></pre></div></li><li><div class="informalexample"><p>The /*e*/ option asserts that the given query results in an
erros. It is mainly used for testing the error detection capabilities
of the engine. It can also be used with syntactically valid queries to
assert a certain state in the database. For example a CREATE TABLE can
be used to assert the table of the same name already exists.</p><pre class="programlisting">
/*e*/ SQL statement that should produce an error when executing</pre></div></li><li><div class="informalexample"><p>The /*r....*/ option asserts the SELECT query returns a
single row containing the given set of field values.</p><pre class="programlisting">
/*r<string1>,<string2>*/ SQL statement returning a single row ResultSet equal to the specified value</pre></div></li><li><div class="informalexample"><p>The extended /*r...*/ option asserts the SELECT query returns
the given rows containing the given set of field values.</p><pre class="programlisting">
/*r
<string1>,<string2>
<string1>,<string2>
<string1>,<string2>
*/ SQL statement returning a multiple row ResultSet equal to the specified values</pre></div><p>(note that the result set lines are indented).</p></li><li><p>All the options are lowercase letters. During development, an
uppercase can be used for a given test to exclude a test from the test
run. The utility will just report the test blocks that have been
excluded without running them. Once the code has been developed, the
option can be turned into lowercase to perform the actual test. </p></li></ul></div><p>See the TestSelf*.txt files in the /testrun/hsqldb/ directory for
actual examples.</p></div><div class="navfooter"><hr><table summary="Navigation footer" width="100%"><tr><td align="left" width="40%"><a accesskey="p" href="apd.html"><img src="navicons/prev.gif" alt="Prev"></a> </td><td align="center" width="20%"><a accesskey="u" href="index.html"><img src="navicons/up.gif" alt="Up"></a></td><td align="right" width="40%"> <a accesskey="n" href="apf.html"><img src="navicons/next.gif" alt="Next"></a></td></tr><tr><td valign="top" align="left" width="40%">Appendix D.
