Overview
This video tutorial introduces database administrators to the concept of test-driven development. Creating a database schema means building an interface to help applications manage data. Then, once you've built the interface, you need to know how well it works. You'll use pgTAP (Test Anything Protocol) to create a database design with an intuitive, useful interface for managing application data.
Derive more intuitive table structures, keep an eye to the beauty of your views, and let your procedures make your application more productive -- all through the power of Test-Driven Database Development.

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.Addison B.
