Обсуждение: how about a "bugs" regression test?

Hi All,

I wonder if it might be useful to maintain a "bugs" regression test, where
we could include various tests that people have supplied to highlight bugs
in the system and that have subsequently been fixed?

I'm thinking along the lines of the current varchar() bug that can be
easily demonstrated in a couple of lines of sql.

Ideally the varchar() bug test could be included in the varchar tests
but it may be easier to collect such misc things in a seperate file
that could be regularly updated as we get examples.

The people testing and fixing the problems could supply the additions
to the bugs.sql and bugs.out files as we find/fix them?

Just a thought?

Keith.

    Sounds cool to me...someone want to submit a "start" to this?
