In the database testing, we have to write SQL queries to
retrieve and validate the data for data consistency and
integrity. When testing the database, tester usually work on
the copy of the application. We have to prepare the test
data to save the data in the back end and work on it. This
include Inserting, validation, verification, consistency and
integrity.

Actually, what a tester performs in database testing is
self explanatory. He tests the database :) As a tester you
should test if the data is inserted in the table or not
after insert statement has been executed. if so, compare
the number of rows between source and target....
For stored procedures, execute a stored procedure
(parameterized) and compare the result with the data in the
table. If it matches, then test passes, else fails. Also,
try to execute the same procedure with different parameter
values just to test the functionality.
For triggers, for example, a trigger action is to insert a
record in a table, activate the trigger by its respective
action and test if a record has been inserted in that table
or not. and it goes on.........
