Running a .sql file against a database during playback
I have a SQL operation that generates content on a database tied to a system that I am testing. I know that I can fire off single lines of SQL but the script is a bit more complex that that.
Basically, I'd like to know if TestComplete, using c#, can fire off SQL against a database when it's contained in a SQL file.
I have a script that can connect and run single, simple queries. Just wondering if it can grab that .sql file and execute as it would make my life that little bit easier.
Cheers.
PS a big thanks to the support team at Smartbear. Excellent.

- You can even do it in code. Here's the extent of a whole unit of code that I have written, one function within that actually executes the script code from a file. FYI, this is encapsulated in a TestComplete ScriptExtension that I created in TestComplete 8 a while back.... if you want, I can make it available to you.
