We now use the promising-looking Test::DatabaseRow that I found in the comments in a previous journal entry.
It's very useful and perfectly solves the problem at hand -- whitebox testing the behind-the-scenes database stuff we previously only tested the API for.
It's a good thing because... well, the third test found a bug (yay us!).
Like I mentioned, I see the need for comparing the number of rows for a certain query before/after a test. I'll probably end up implementing something like that and see what kind of easy-to-use interface it should have.
Right now I think it's something like:
my $sql = "select * from blah where my_id = $id";
rows_added_ok($sql);
#do stuff that should add two rows
rows_added_ok($sql, 2, "Stuff() inserted into blah");
#do stuff that should add one more row
rows_added_ok($sql, 1, "Stuff() inserted into blah");
I imagine I should key the previous value to the "$dbh.$sql".
