618 ;;Quote: must automate the generation of SQL tests; manually written tests cover a tiny fraction of the SQL input domain
618 ;;Quote: automated, stochastic testing of SQL across multiple database managers; randomly generate SQL statements
619 ;;Quote: compare SQL queries across multiple vendors; avoid sorting by comparing row counts and column checksums
620 ;;Quote: generate SQL by random parse trees and delayed decisions; propagate state information downwards and decisions upwards
620 ;;Quote: example of comparing random SQL across multiple database systems; 0.07% had possible errors
621 ;;Quote: automatic simplification of erroneous SQL; helped debug problems
622 ;;Quote: SQL comparison across database systems not effective for testing NULL, strings, and numeric type coercion; needed for portability
