 Hi Gustav --

That said, I cannot imagine how you can test anything 
without having the database.

Are you kidding again? :)

Of course you cannot test *everything* without having the database if your application uses database but I'd note that testing with database belongs to *integration* testing: as for unit testing and  business layer/business use cases testing - you don't need to have database to test all that even if you application in test does use database back-end.

Thank you.
