Unit Testing Database Access code

HSQLDB appears to me to be a clean way of testing database access code. Just use the in-memory feature (jdbc:hsqldb:mem:), and implement your setUp method to create the appropriate tables, and tearDown to drop the tables.

Interesting to see that the Deutsche is listed as one of the openadaptor adopters - DrKW originally build openadaptor. Suprised no US investment banks are listed.

Came across Nagios today. Nagios is a monitoring program for host, service and networks. Nagios is fully pluggable, with the Nagios Exchange offering a selection of plugins. NSJS looks particularly interesting.
