I love migrations. I think they are one of the best things about rails. I love that I can count on any changes I’ve done in the database to be consistent across all other databases that I use. Love it.
Sometimes I find that I want pre-load my database with some data, like categories that I have. For testing purposes, I have already created this data in my fixture; now I just want to load that fixture into my database from a migration call.
I know that there is a rake task for this, so I looked into that code and came up with a little something.
