Which is why it is important for us to figure out the best way to
organize the tests within the test framework.  The idea would be that I
can specify that I want the Salesforcce connector tests to be executed
and by doing so, I must provide Salesforce credentials that can be used
with the connector.  Furthermore, it would be very nice if the schemas
used with the Salesforce connector could be the same as the ones used
with the other connectors so that a basic/common test case suite would
apply.  For example, creating a script that could be responsible for
populating Salesforce with equivalent schema and data such as BQT so
that type testing can be executed in the same manner that it is against
PostgreSQL.  This of course shouldn't be a requirement but a goal so
that new schemas don't have to be created and maintained across each
connector.
