TransientDb

TransientDb is a lightweight, dynamic, runtime, code-only database which comes in handy whenever you need quick setup and teardown of an ephemeral database with a controlled starting state specified by SQL scripts. It is based on MS SQL Local DB.

Installing

Usage

TransientDb can be used to create and destroy local databases on the fly via SQL scripts. This is a very powerful concept when you want to create fully integration tested code (all the way down the DB level) without having to share databases (which is un-controlled and un-scientific) or create convoluted infrastructure to emulate an in-memory database.

It is ORM agnostic because its an actual database!

The following code shows an example:


	using(var transientDbConnection = TransientDb.Create(new FileInfo("CreateCompanyDatabase.sql")))
	{	
		// Transient database starts existing here
		
		// Dapper integration is seamless
		var dapperPerson = transientDbConnection.Connection.Query<Person>("select * from dbo.Persons where Id = 3").FirstOrDefault()
		
		// Create and point your EF DB context to your transient db
		var myEfDbContext = new CompanyContext(transientDbConnection.Connection.ConnectionString);
		var efPerson = myEfDbContext.Persons.Where(p => p.Id == 3).FirstOrDefault();
		
	}
	
	// Transient database ceases to exist here (cleaned up along with the connection)
