Case studies and/or how-tos on test driven development would be interesting, also. (Especially something like moving a legacy project to a unittest based setup.)

This sounds a bit specific given that there are so many db interfaces psycopg, PyPgSQL, equivalent ones for mysql, etc and then abstractions like SqlAlchemy, Elixir, SQLObject, Storm.
