Parameterization
 

DataConstructor  scripts can be parameterized.

Not every part of a data-build can be predetermined.  Eventually, something will need to vary - even if it's just a timestamp or a database identity.  ..or some datum will not be known until the last moment.  It might make you a little queasy to edit a script just before you run it.  Why shouldn't it?  You just circumnavigated all of your testing!

That's where parameters come in.  They let you say "Hey!  This can change!" and, of course, they let you test for those changes.

DataConstructor supports parameterization for both databases (via SQL command parameters) and XML (via XSLT stylesheet parameters).
