Hi, sorry for my questions, I try to understand how the tests/drivers works. At the begining of driver contructor I have (from mssql.php) : function MDB_mssql() { $this->MDB_Common(); $this->phptype = 'mssql'; $this->dbsyntax = 'mssql'; $this->supported['Sequences'] = 1; $this->supported['Indexes'] = 1; $this->supported['AffectedRows'] = 1; $this->supported['Summaryfunctions'] = 1; $this->supported['OrderByText'] = 0; $this->supported['CurrId'] = 1; $this->supported['SelectRowRanges'] = 0; $this->supported['LOBs'] = 1; $this->supported['Replace'] = 0; $this->supported['SubSelects'] = 1; What means supported here: Supported by the driver, or supported by the database. I mean a database can support a feature, but the driver does not implement it ? From the test cases, I got for example : mdb_usage_testcase : Starting testtransactions ... Failure 1 : This database does not support Transactions expected true, actual false There were 1 failures for testtransactions There were 0 errors for testtransactions I understand it is normal that the test case print "This database does not support Transactions", since this property is not even defined. But I don't undestand "expected true". How the test know that it should be true? Also, what is the complete preperty list that should be defined in each driver? Here I think Transactions should be defined since mssql support them. -- Thierry bothorel
