I don't understand how your test would show values from the database
which match what the test claims as 'expected' under any circumstances,
regardless of whether the driver's calculations were correct.  The
INSERT statement has March 1998 dates for the second and fourth values,
but the check() method is expecting dates in August 2007 for those
values.

I'm not in such an area, so I'd have to modify the test further to get
anything meaningful from it.  Can you state the dependencies/assumptions
in a general enough way that the test could be modified to work
somewhere other than at GMT + 1 or where daylight savings shift takes
place other than on a specific date in August?

Best to have such discussions on the mailing list so we can benefit from
participation of the larger community.
