As others have suggested, Qt may have already written a lot of that code for 
you, if you structure the database right. Look into the QSqlTableModel, and 
related objects.

And I'll go ahead and add my two cents. In my opinion, writing a black box 
unit test is part of the design. Code the actual unit(s) after that. It will 
help improve the code tremendously. And if you ever find yourself in an 
environment that requires white box testing, you can improve the test driver 
to cover all branches in the latter part of the coding phase.

Now if I can just remember to follow my own advice. :-)
