Phil Factor maintains some tests:
When learning about relational databases, we all tend to use ‘toy’ databases such as Pubs, AdventureWorks, NorthWind, or ClassicModels. This is fine, but it is too easy to assume that one can then do real-world database development in the same way. You have your database full of data and just cut code that you then test. From a distance, it all seems so easy.
In fact, rapid and effective database development usually requires a much more active approach to data. You need to work out how to test your work as you go, and to test continuously. For that, you need appropriate data with the right characteristics, in the suitable quantity. You also need to plan how to ensure that, when you make changes to the database, or even minor changes to its settings, all business processes continue to work correctly. In Agile terms you need a test-first methodology, fast feedback loop, and iterative development. You should never cut some SQL Code and only then think to yourself “I wonder how I’ll be able to test this?“.
This is something I’ve historically been pretty lazy about, to my detriment. Phil does an outstanding job of making the case for why generating and working with your own test data (versus live data) is important, as well as categorizing the purposes of this test data and the types of tests you’ll want to have.
