Database configuration ====================== A database file containing the Northwind database schema and data is located in the directory src\Spring.Northwind.Web\App_Data named NORTHWND.MDF. This file can me mounted explicitly using SQL Server 2005 or SQL Server Express. The web project's <db:provider> configuration is setup to point to this database file. The integratation tests point to a copy of that database located in the directory \test\Spring.Northwind.IntegrationTests\bin\Debug. You will need to copy the .mdf file to the bin\Debug directory to run the integration test. SQL Server Express or 2005 will need to running before the web application or integration test is launched. If you prefer to run against your own database, the schema is located in the test_northwind.sql and you will need to modify your connection string accordingly.
