So you say maybe "pgUnitTest" is not the best name and I agree.
Actually the scripting language I created is not only for testing. The
basic thing is that you can use control structures (if else, while,
for) between you queries to do whatever you want to without requiring
any specific language like Java, C or any library. And unit testing is
more about code than queries. I am going to find and suggest a better
name.

This email was just to present the idea. Of course, in the proposal, I
will write a precise timeline with what needs to be done exactly.
