17. Testing the Database Connection

The package includes a test script that checks some of the database's features. As

side effect this also provides a good regression test for the mxODBC interface.

To start the test, simply run the script in mx/ODBC/Misc/test.pyc.

python mx/ODBC/Misc/test.pyc

The script will generate a few temporary tables (named mxODBC0001,

mxODBC0002, etc; no existing tables will be overwritten) and then test the interface

- database communication including many database related features such as data

types and support of various SQL dialects. The tables are automatically removed

after the tests have run through.
