How do I write web validation against a database.
What I want to do is compare the response to see if it contains specific text.
Thanks,

A custom validation rule can be written and added to any request in a web test. See the following for help with writting custom validation rules.

Depending on your requirements, you may be able to use the built-in validation rule, called "Find Text", which searches the response for a text string or regex.
Whether you use a custom rule or a built-in rule, this link will show you how to add it to a request in a web test.

Actually using the built in rule for find text, with the text =
{{DataSource1.xmltest.results}} work fine for me.
Populating the data source was pretty easy as well - I just cut & pasted from an existing run of a web test.
