Description

The test suite for the new SQLite driver originates from the old driver tests being duplicated. As the test suite was growing over time, it would make sense to better categorize the tests, and check them against a real MySQL instance to make sure our assertions are correct. In doing so, we may consider always running them against both the SQLite driver and a MySQL container, and removing the hardcoded assertions.

Research direction

Start by locating the duplicated new SQLite driver tests and the older driver test suite, then compare how they run against SQLite and a real MySQL instance or container. Done means the tests are better categorized, exercise both drivers, and no longer rely on hardcoded assertions where the issue identifies that concern.
