I read your post this morning and thought, "WOW! Rails has defined an approach for seeding data. That's great! I'll have to look into that." But I didn't have an answer for you. Then later this morning, I went looking for something I'd seen on Ryan Bates excellent Railscasts site (http://railscasts.com/) and found episode #179 staring me in the face. I highly recommend watching Ryan's tutorial on the subject, but I can give you the punchline: #find_or_create_by_name("blah"), or, alternatetively, Mytable.delete_all.
