Description
The database fixtures part of phpunit requires a PDO object in order to do its job.
For 'real' databases this is fine because you can make a second connection, however with in-memory databases doing this creates a second database.
In order to unit test on an in-memory database access to the inner PDO object is needed.

What would the general case for this look like? Should Database be able to wrap already open connections?

I've not really considered the wider implications of how the API would look.
For reference, here's how we worked around it:

- Project changed from Kohana v3.x to UnitTest
- Category deleted (
Modules:Database) - Assignee set to Chris Bandy
I think the right way to resolve this is to implement a PHPUnit_Extensions_Database_DB_IDatabaseConnection backed by Kohana_Database.
