I am working on TUnit (which is a more specific
solution which works on MS SQL Server 2000 only).

If it does in Ruby, then I have missed it too :-)

Currently this is what I have got:

Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195]

C:\tunit>dir /b
sample
todo.txt
tst_tunit.sql
TUnit.cmd  <<<<<< This can very well be TUnit.rb 
tu_assert.sql
tu_assert_column_equal.sql

tu_assert_compare_2table_counts.sql
tu_assert_compare_2table_crdt.sql

tu_assert_similar_struct.sql
tu_assert_unique_colval.sql

C:\tunit>

I think the success of test-unit frameworks is related
to the wealth of "asserts" available and the ease of
their orchestration. To that end, I am continuously
adding to my repertoire of assert and striving to make
it easy to use for ** me **.

I will love for this to be more generic and do what
DBUnit does (and more). Will gladly share what I have
in case anybody is interested.
