+; The default connections to the test databases. Used by all data tests based on BasicDataServiceTest.cs.
+; This is read by code in DefaultTestConns.cs.
+
+; NOTE that this INI file is currently loaded as a embedded RESOURCE, which is weird and has a
+; disadvantage of having to rebuild the Tests whenever the conn strings are changed. 
+; The only reason is that I couldn't figure out a reliable way to put this INI into the correct
+; dir at runtime. If somebody can do it, that would be cool. 
+
+; I'm using a local MSDE server for testing. Obviously, you'll have to modify
+; the conn string to whatever MS SQL server is available to you.
+
+; If any of the conn strings is commented out, emty or not valid on your system, 
+; the relevant tests will be ignored, rather than fail.  
+
+; As to SQLite, if the conn string here is empty, it will work anyway using a temporary
+; file for the DB.  If you want the resulting DB to persist (e.g. for performance testing,
+; when filling up the tables can take a long time), explicitly specify a conn string like this: 
+
+; SqliteConnection="URI=file:<path_to_your_file>,version=3"
