I could...but I'm afraid you'll have to wait a little bit, because I
cannot spend so much time on this (at work...at least, I'll do it at
home), and besides I must first understand how junit tests work :)
I'll let you know when I'm done.

BTW, any idea on how to disable the log outputs? I said I got two
outputs per query, but they are actually four: "start
called:...","preparing sql:...","End called:...","commit called:...."

Thanks
