db-preservation-toolkit

Testing db-preservation-toolkit against SIARD

SIARD support has just been added to the toolkit. The idea is to use it as the official preservation format.

In order to teste this new addition we are performing roundtrip tests with all the supported database engines:

  • We are creating a test database with cases to be tested: null values, default values, autoincrement, index, etc;
  • We upload this database in the engine to be tested;
  • We export it from the engine to SIARD;
  • We upload this SIARD instance into the same engine into a different database;
  • We dump both databases in raw text format and compute the differences.
