Hi.

Newbie testing question:

I'd like put some sql assertions in my test suite -- basically, query 

select blah from blah blah where blah blah blah

[download]
should return zero rows, or N rows, or whatever. Not seeing anything thing in the Test:: family with this feature (did I miss something?), I planned to write my own Test::Sql module, extending Test::More, so I could write 
use strict;
use Test::More tests=>19;
use Test::Sql;
...
...
no_rows(q(select blah from blah blah where blah blah blah)), 'correctl
+y empty blah query'))
...
...

[download]
. The no_rows subroutine would grab the right DBI handle, query, retrieve rows, "OK" if no rows, and fail to displayu a rowcount and the first few rows returned if not zero rows.

How do I extend Test::More so that the numbering still works? Do I emit my own "ok" or "nok", and how do I maintaining numbering? Is there a good test building faq somewhere I missed?

Many THanks
