Class DiffHandler

java.lang.Object
  net.sourceforge.sqlunit.handlers.DiffHandler

All Implemented Interfaces:

IHandler

public class DiffHandler
extends java.lang.Object
implements IHandler

The DiffHandler compares result sets from two different SQL statements or stored procedure calls. The caller does not need to know or specify the exact results returned from each SQL or stored procedure call. This can be used when comparing the output of two queries which are too large or unknown at test specification time.
