Nate, I've added reading and responding to this message to my internal
trac system, but I'm way busy right now and can't devote immediate time
to helping you set up the unit tests.

I agree that we want to focus on testing 'units', so that mock objects
should be used in e.g. dBizobj, dCursor, and dForm instead of the actual
live objects. However, sqlite is light enough to use until we get a full
cursor mock object working. Of course, the eventual unit tests for the
various backends (dbMySQL.py and friends) would actually need to connect
the the respective dbapi so that we can test that we have wrapped correctly.

Anyway, it looks like you are off to a good start, you have my full
support, so don't be discouraged if I don't reply immediately.

John, you sent me a private message this morning that pretty much is in
the same boat: I have no time to review right now, but you are on my
list. I'd encourage you to ask for help publicly instead of privately
and perhaps someone else can assist. Otherwise, I'll get to it when I can.

Paul
