For tests which produce large reference/result files for diff testing, look into alternatives which don't require storing large ref files. Some suggestions: (from John's email)

>One way to deal with this is to say that any large reference sets can either be regenerated >on the fly (e.g. by issuing the same query against another DBMS whose results are >compatible and trusted, or via the Unix sort command in the case of testing an ORDER BY) >or materialized in a DBMS just like other test data (instead of in .ref files).

Or look into DiffRepository.
