David Wheeler's "PgTAP" (as well as MyTAP for MySQL) is a handy, easy to use and easy to learn TAP testing framework which should be part of the toolbox of every Perl developer.

Staying within the TAP testing style we are used to in Perl, PgTAP makes it very easy to whip up simple and not-so-simple database unit tests.

I'd like to give an overview over the features of PgTAP and show a couple of common test cases which might come in handy in everyday use of a database.

Examples will be shown in Postgres/PgTAP.
