Subject: DB connection setup for Unit Testing

I am trying to take a test-driven approach to a script I am writing.

The script needs to connect to SQLServer using DBI.
Currently it looks like this:


class BurndownTests < Test::Unit::TestCase

  def setup
    db = DBI.connect("DBI:ODBC:driver={SQL
Server};Server=INPSESVER1;Database=RMT;Trusted_Connection=yes;")
  end

  def teardown
    db.disconnect
  end

  def test_connectrmtrack
    pass
  end

  def test_export_schedule
    pass
  end

  def test_format_datecols
    pass
  end

  def test_count_resolutions
    pass
  end

  def test_dumptofile
    pass
  end

end

The issue with this is that using setup like this, from what I
understand is used for each new test method I add. As I want to connect,
test the connection and then run tests which have a reliance on the
connection being established, how can I do a onetime setup and then test
this?
