Understanding and Reusing Test Suites Across Database Systems
Summary: Introduces SQuaLity, a unified test-suite uniting SQLite, PostgreSQL, and DuckDB to enable cross-DBMS test reuse. An empirical study shows wide variation in test formats and runner commands, plus dependencies and extensions, but cross-DBMS runs reveal crashes, hangs, and compatibility issues, highlighting both reuse barriers and benefits.
