In a normal programming language, an assertion is usually a static fault
in your program. If the assertion ever fails, you fix your program and
then it hopefully never happens again.
Assertion that query the state of the database or result row counts are
pushing that concept quite a bit. Those are not assertions, those are
just plain old error handling.
What is difference between content of variable or content of database? You can test any prerequisite, but when this prerequisite is not solved, than exception is very very hard without possible handling.
