Test::TempDatabase - temporary database creation and destruction.
use Test::TempDatabase; my $td = Test::TempDatabase->create(dbname => 'temp_db'); my $dbh = $td->handle; ... some tests ... # Test::TempDatabase drops database
This module automates creation and dropping of test databases.
Create test database using Test::TempDatabase->create. Use handle to get a handle to the database. Database will be automagically dropped when Test::TempDatabase instance goes out of scope.
handle
When running as root, this function becomes different user. It decides on the user name by probing TEST_TEMP_DB_USER, SUDO_USER environment variables. If these variables are empty, default "postgres" user is used.
