This directory contains a test suite for mysql daemon. To run
the currently existing test cases, simply execute ./mysql-test-run in
this directory. It will fire up the newly built mysqld and test it.
+
+If you want to run the test with a running MySQL server use the --external
+option to mysql-test-run.
+
Note that you do not have to have to do make install, and you could
actually have a co-existing MySQL installation - the tests will not
conflict with it.

You can create your own test cases. To create a test case:
- cd t
- vi test_case_name.test
+ xeamacs t/test_case_name.test
in the file, put a set of SQL commands that will create some tables,
load test data, run some queries to manipulate it.
