+Unit tests are located in test/cases directory. If you only want to run a single test suite,
you can do so with:
rake test_mysql TEST=test/cases/base_test.rb

That'll run the base suite using the MySQL-Ruby adapter. Some tests rely on the schema
being initialized - you can initialize the schema with:
rake test_mysql TEST=test/cases/aaa_create_tables_test.rb
+ rake mysql:build_databases
+
+To setup the testing environment for PostgreSQL use this command:
+
+ rake postgresql:build_databases
The incantation for running a particular test looks like this
