I want to source data from a database for parameters used in a web test.
The data will not be populated until part way into the test, but running the test throws an error upon the start of the test complaining that there are now rows, and refuses to continue.
I know there are no rows. No rows is correct at the beginning.
It seems binding happens at the test start. Is there any way for it to bind when it actually needs the data only
cheers

Rows are read from web test data source at the beginning of the load test. Any data added to the data source after the test begins will not be detected. However, you are able to specify web test data binding to a data source or to a value out of the test context. You may be able to use test context binding to accomplish your task. Could you describe how the data that you want to bind to is generated Instead of writing the data to a database you may be able to write it to the test context.

(PS I'm really annoyed 'cos I spent 2 hours refining the reply to this only for IE / your forum stuff to chuck it all away. So forgive me if this is a bit terse).
Could have a modified version of our web app to write out the value to a hidden field then use an extraction rule.
- use ExtractAttributeValue or ExtractHiddenFields
ExtractAttributeValue
- what do 'MatchAttributeName' and 'MatchAttributeValue' do The help on them doesn't say
- Why are they called 'QueryString parameters' Anything to do with the 'QueryString parameters' in the post
ExtractHiddenFields
- there's no help on this
- how do I specify the name of the field to get
One of our pages does a redirect and puts stuff on the query string. Is it possible to get at the query string and put bits of it in a context

PS is 'text context' an official term Searching for it drew a blank
