Missing docs: helping users get started with appropriate DbFit implementation

[benilovj]

Users have (justifiably, IMHO), asking which is the appropriate DbFit implementation for them. This isn't really explained anywhere, as far as I can see, which I would like to correct.

I am thinking to post something along these lines:

Which DbFit?

I'm new to FitNesse

I want to only test database code:

• MySql
• PostgreSQL
• Oracle, etc.... => DbFit 2.0
• SQL Server => FitSharp

I want to combine database and application interaction in the same test:

• My team does Java (or another JVM language) => DbFit 2.0
• My team does C#/VB.NET (or another CLR language) => FitSharp
• My team does Ruby => currently not supported

I already use FitNesse

I want to test databases and application code, but not in the same test:

• MySql
• PostgreSQL
• Oracle, etc.... => DbFit 2.0
• SQL Server => FitSharp

I want to combine database and application fixtures in the same test:

• I use Fit => DbFit 2.0
• I use Slim => currently not supported
• I use FitLibrary/FLW => FitLibrary 2.0
• I use FitSharp => FitSharp

cc @jediwhale @MMatten @gojko : does that look sensible? Any corrections?

Hi Benilovj,

Do you have any documents on How to setup DBFIT with oracle.
I wanted to automate my application with DBFit and i am pretty new to use it. I need someone to guide me in installing and running basic scripts in DBFit. Can you please help me with this?

@avinashbk please read the main documentation first, this will help you get started. For Oracle-specific tests, you can check out the DbFit Oracle acceptance tests.

Here are also some direct links which may be helpful:

• For Oracle you need to place it's JDBC driver (ojdbc6.jar) in the lib
  folder of DbFit installation. Download it from here:
  http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/jdbc-112010-090769.html
• A recent discussion about JDBC connection properties for Oracle (
  https://groups.google.com/d/msg/dbfit/7EpsM0K6ILc/b5QjXHw3m2sJ).
• Here I also have a demo project of DbFit using Oracle db:
