Wrapping code examples (in rspec) or test methods (in t/u) in a transaction is the default behavior, but is easily turned off with config.transactional_fixtures = false. The name transactional_fixtures is a bit misleading because its really about wrapping each method in a transaction whether you're using fixtures or not. If you do turn this off, however, you'll want some code to truncate the DB after each example (after(:each) in rspec, teardown in test/unit) to avoid leaking state across examples.
