More extensive EditCSV testing. Uses test object to cover all types defined by database. Also check for an error with a row that's too short. CSV starts with blank line to verify that it recognises header line. Changes password, date, int, link and other fields. Deletes row and verified that it is retired. Make actions.py properly handle emptying of password field.

PostgreSQL/psycopg Backend
==========================

This are notes about PostqreSQL backend based on the psycopg adapter for
Roundup issue tracker.

Prerequisites
=============

To use PostgreSQL as backend for storing roundup data, you should
additionally install:

1. PostgreSQL 8.x or higher - https://www.postgresql.org/

2. The psycopg python interface to PostgreSQL:

     http://initd.org/psycopg/


Running the PostgreSQL unit tests
=================================

The user that you're running the tests as will need to be able to access
the postgresql database on the local machine and create and drop
databases. See the config values in 'test/db_test_base.py' 
about which database connection, name and user will be used.
