FitNesse.FullReferenceGuide.UserGuide.WritingAcceptanceTests.FitFramework.RowFixtureMultipleKeys

The queries in a Row Fixture can use more than one key.

Suppose we have records of the last three months worth of paychecks. Each paycheck is uniquely identified by the employeeId and the date. We want to make sure that the checks were generated properly.

fitnesse.fixtures.PayCheckRecordFixture
date	employeeId	name	pay()
3/1/03	1		1000
4/1/03	1		1015
3/1/03	2		2002
4/1/03	2		2003

Notice, once again, that the order of the table rows doesn't matter. For example:

fitnesse.fixtures.PayCheckRecordFixture
date	employeeId	name	pay()
3/1/03	2		2002
3/1/03	1		1000
4/1/03	1		1015
4/1/03	2		2003

Notice also that the blank cell was not used as part of the key. Rather it was just filled in for you so you could visually check things. Here's what would have happened if we had tried to fill in the name column.

fitnesse.fixtures.PayCheckRecordFixture
date	employeeId	name	pay()
3/1/03	1	Bob	1000
4/1/03	1	Bob	1015
3/1/03	2	Bill	2002
4/1/03	2	Biff	2003

And here's what would happen if a row were missing or surplus.

fitnesse.fixtures.PayCheckRecordFixture
date	employeeId	name	pay()
3/1/03	1		1000
4/1/03	1		1015
3/1/03	2		2002
4/1/03	3		2003
