Hi, One of the things we've wanted for a while in some projects is a completely separate database environment for each test when using MySQL. To that end, I wrote a MySQL schema fixture that is in use in nodepool: http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack-infra/nodepool/tree/nodepool/tests/__init__.py#n75 While a per-test schema is more overhead than what you're asking about, it's sometimes very desirable and quite simple. -Jim
