@Joaca To my knowledge, the only way to handle that would be to use a SELECT INTO OUTFILE query (or mysql -e ‘SELECT’ > dump.sql if you’re accessing a remote server) to dump the result set to a CSV file and then use the PHPUnit class for CSV data sets. I don’t believe any of the standard MySQL client utilities offer a way to dump a data set like that into the same XML format that mysqldump does for individual tables.

If you wanted to use the XML data set class, you’d need to write something to convert from CSV to that XML format. In fact, before I developed MySQL XML support for PHPUnit, I had written a PHP CLI script to convert from the MySQL XML format to the DBUnit format that PHPUnit did support at the time.

I find this all very interesting, but is it possible to test the results of a complex query, such as a select statement with multiple joins? It would be nice to be able to confirm that the logic used to generate a query is correct as well.

I’ve fixed the link. I’d dropped the repository after my contribution was pulled in (under the same commit identifier) to Sebastian Bergmann’s account and forgotten to fix the link here. Appreciate you letting me know, thanks!

Hi there,

I’m trying to get your modifications to phpunit at http://github.com/elazar/phpunit/commit/fad913fd84720f889e1d3415e775f68304e76f52

But the link doesn’t exist. This is a smart way to work and I want to use it.

Cheers,

Murilo

Database Testing with PHPUnit and MySQL » Matthew Turland…

I recently made a contribution to the PHPUnit project that I thought I’d take a blog post to discuss. One of the extensions bundled with PHPUnit adds support for database testing. This extension was contributed by Mike Lively and is a port of the DbUni…
