DDT iterating
I am using DDT and Table variables to do some before and after data comparisons. The table variable iterator object has a reset method to move the cursor back to the top of the iterator. The DDT drive...

First note that the grids and databases are not supported by checkpoints within Test Complete. I could not use them anyway because of the variation within the expected result.
I have an action that my AUT performs. I use DDT to connect to the database and create a table variable. In order to set the table variable's RowCount property to ensure enough rows to hold my data, I iterate through DDT Driver once to count rows. I then have to iterate through again to populate the columns in the table variable from ddt.
My test then performs some actions. I open another DDT Driver object to compare the data against the expected results and the original values stored in the table variable.
I have done this in a few parametrized procedures so I can do this across a bunch of actions in my AUT thereby confirming that they are acting on the data as expected.
If you know of a better way to do this, feel free to let me know!
Thanks
