There is now a phpbb_database_test_case which can be used as a base class for tests that require database access. You have to set up a test_config.php file in your tests/ directory containing host, user, pass etc.
Extra test functionality has been moved to phpbb_test_case_helpers to provide the same functionality in database tests and regular tests without duplicating the code. This is achieved through delegation of method calls.
