<html><body><div style="color:#000; background-color:#fff; font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12pt">I have added 2 tables to keystone. I have methods which do the read/write/update/delete of records in these tables. I want to write unit test for all this. These methods of mine inherit from keystone.common.sql and hence any call that these methods will make will go to the db returned by keystone.common.sql when creating a session. For writing a unit test this db should be a test db and not the production db. So, how can I have a session of test db? or is there altogether a different way of writing the unit test.<br><br><div><br></div> <div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <div style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <div dir="ltr"> <hr size="1"> <font face="Arial" size="2"> <b><span style="font-weight:bold;">From:</span></b> Dolph Mathews
