The tranasction savepoints sound interesting . While never having investigated them, I'm imagining that SQL Server (the DBMS I'm stuck with) must have some similar functionality. My original suite of tests was very brute force - add rows that I need for my tests, run the tests, manually delete those rows. On the plus side, I at least verified that the delete functionality in Class::DBI worked as intended ;)

Up to this point, I've always verified my database tests using Class::DBI, but I think I like using yet another tool to verify my test data. Looks like Test::DatabaseRow will fit that bill nicely. Thanks for the recommendation!
