[hibernate-dev] [Fwd: hibernate-mysql50-testsuite Build CompletedWith Testsuite Errors]

[Aleksandar Kostadinov]

I mean is it possible to have a testcase which only tries to clean
everithing from the database it has connection to. So it is not
connected with other tests. It could not use junit at all. It will be
best to have a separate target (say cleandb) and when we run "build.sh
cleandb" we know that the database is ok.
