I searched already to see differences between data and keyword driven testing on Google but I did not find an enough answer for me.

Keywords and data are tools used in automated test scripts. You use a keyword to represent an action. A sequence of keywords drive a script. So you can use the same set of keywords to build a variety of test scripts. You use data as inputs to your script actions. Each data set you have in the script, provides a test case. So the more data sets, the more test cases. The idea is that these tools help to quickly define numerous test cases and test scripts so that your test coverage is larger.
I wouldn't get too caught up in trying to learn meaning of buzz words. Just use tools that help you test more and better.

In 8 days, i got something that want to write here:
First thing, kdt is so expensive (for time and people). because of this, almost all automated testing tools uses a hibrit (ddt and kdt) approach. And like Dabowhekk said before, kdt also include test scenarios, actions&events.

I am totally new to the subject of databases and I have only theoretical knowledge about it.I want to run the SQL commands I read about but totally clueless where to run it.The definition says SQL is a special purpose programming language.If so why doesn't it have a compiler?And if I have to install in a RDBMS on my computer to practice SQL, what is the one you would suggest for learners?Can SQL commands be run in all RDBMS?
I am totally despondent about it,utterly clueless.Please help me take the first step.Just a simple thing--Where on earth to run those SQL commands?
You can use http://sqlfiddle.com/ to test your queries. There you can chose a database (mysql, Oracle, Sql Server or other), generate test tables, fill them with test data and generate test queries to this data

I have a project that's in the design phase and looking at my options have decided on using Postgresql for the application backend because of licensing and features. I have searched around but I am unable to find any solid information on using Postgresql in Xcode or even with OSX applications. Could someone point me in the right direction any help would be greatly appreciated.
You have not given quite a lot of context.
On the application side there are quite a few pieces of software running under OS X that interface with PostgreSQL, for example the standard GUI pgAdmin.
But I believe you're more concerned about the developers perspective. Probably the most common way is to use the libpq library that comes with PostgreSQL. It is well documented and rather stable. Integration into your software project should be straightforward.
If you are looking for an Objective-C framework, you could try out BaseTen. Never used that one, though.
If you want more specific help, you have to ask more specific questions.

I find that creating SQL tables tedious when starting to create a web app (ASP/Python/PHP).
Do you guys know any tools that makes creating tables quicker and faster and easier? Thanks in advance! :-)
In my opinion writing a CREATE TABLE statement is far less tedious than writing HTML pages.
The recommended approach is to use a ER design tool co create and define your database model. Most (if not all) ER designer can then create the necessary DDL statement directly from the model.
With this approach you also have a documentation of your database model which is always a good thing.
It depends on the tools/libraries you use to create your app.
If you use an ORM, many ORMs offer you the possibility to create the database with all tables automatically, according to the classes and mappings you defined in your application.

I've downloaded latest nightly builds from official Webkit site. It contains some exes, dlls, and resources. However, none of exes can be performed.
I also tried to google some answers, they all mentioned one run-safari script or run-nightly-webkit.cmd, but both of them didn't get shipped with nightly build. So, how to run this nightly builds?
Thanks.
You could not run them directly outside the building environment, because there are some environment variable should be specified.
The easy way is to run it in the building environment, you could choose MiniBrowser as starting point.
Another way, you many mention each message while you run it outside which may remind you to setup something or missed something, then Google it.
Finally, you also could study run-safari script in detail.
Here is a reference for you to check the building steps:

Hi there: I was looking at a few videos, etc and I just cant help but wonder why Pex usage seems to be so low?
Are there any problems that are not obvious, or is it just a licence issue?
It's a very new tool and to work really well you need to use Code Contracts as well. It also catches a lot of issues like possible integer overflows that a lot of developers think they can just ignore. Pex is amazing and will take off eventually but it has a learning curve so it's going to take some time to percolate through the .Net ecosystem.
I've used it on a few new development projects and it has saved me two major bugs (not caught by normal unit tests) that would have taken at least a week to track down and fix normally plus a few smaller issues so I'm a big proponent of Pex. That said it takes a lot of work to get it producing good results on an existing code base of any size so how cost effective it is will need to be determined on a project by project basis.
