Setup Database before run ui coded tests on Visual Studio 2010 - database

Question

I'm automating UI tests to my Silverlight App and I'm using Visual Studio 2010 for it. Some tests required a setup to my Oracle Database.
Things i've done:
1 - A setup.sql file where I connect to my Database and perform actions on it. I had this file as an existing item to my project and I add as a Deployment on TestSettings.
Code:
CONNECT USERNAME#DATABASE,
CREATE TABLE TABLE_NAME,
EXIT
2 - A set.bat file where I call the setup.sql file. I had the path of this file on Setup and Cleanup tab on TestSetings.
Code:
sqlcmd -S MARIALISBOA -i setup.sql
3 - I wrote a TestInitilize method on my TestClass.
Code:
[TestInitialize()]
public void Initialize()
{
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("setup.bat");
}
4 - I connected do my Database throw Visual Studio (Data -> Add New Data Source).
I run a test on Visual Studio but the class isn't created on my database.
Could anyone help me? I'm trying to solve this problem since Monday and I starting to lose my mind

While it does not solve your initial problem, a solution would be to use something similiar to this;
Do not create the table within your tests. this should be created on install of the Test Environment
Clear down the table for each test you want to do using a Helper Method within the test.
For example (Please note that this is SQL Server, use OLE DB connection or similiar);
internal static object FireSqlStatement(string sqlStatement)
{
object result = null;
using (var cn = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings[connectionString].ConnectionString))
{
cn.Open();
var cmd = new SqlCommand
{
CommandText = sqlStatement,
CommandType = CommandType.Text,
Connection = cn
};
result = cmd.ExecuteScalar();
cmd.Dispose();
cn.Close();
}
return result;
}
An example of how I use this within my test;
[Test]
public void GetUserTriggers()
{
//Insert Test Record
Helper.FireSqlStatement("INSERT INTO [Users].[Triggers] (Id) VALUES (1)");
var request = new GetTriggersRequest()
{
TriggerType = TriggerType.UserTrigger
};
var response = ServiceInvoker.Invoke<IReports,
GetTriggersRequest, GetTriggersResponse>(
"Reports",
request,
(proxy, req) => proxy.GetTriggers(req));
foreach (var t in response.Triggers)
{
Console.WriteLine(t.Id.ToString());
}
Assert.NotNull(response);
Assert.NotNull(response.Triggers);
Assert.Greater(response.Triggers.Count, 0);
}
In your case, you could call;
Helper.FireSqlStatement("TRUNCATE TABLE tableName");
Any good?
