Test Setup

Running the tests requires an instance of SQL Server running on localhost and certain configuration variables set as environment variables:

  • MSSQL_DVR should be set to the ODBC driver to be used. Usually SQL Server Native Client 11.0 on Windows, ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server on Linux.
  • MSSQL_UID should be set to the name of a login with sufficient permissions, e.g. sa
  • MSSQL_PWD should be set to the password for the above account

The tests will create a database named mssql_ecto_integration_test

The script /bash_scripts/setup_test_db.sh starts a docker image that holds the test database.
