I know that we shouldn't make database calls in the Initializer, but how
do we avoid this when a class 'bootstraps' itself when it is required,
e.g.

class Status < ActiveRecord::Base
  # Add constants representing the various status
  SUBMITTED = self.find(...)
  APPROVED = self.find(...)
  DENIED = self.find(...)
end

I have, in my initialization block, a line which causes some model
classes to be 'required', e.g.

config.active_record.observers = :audit_observer # 'requires' observed
classes

My problem is that the initialization block runs while executing
migrations, and therefore fails on a migration from version 0, because
the Status table doesn't yet exist.

I've tried config.after_initialize, with no luck.  Is there some other
way to do initialization only after the migrations have run?

Thanks.

Brian
