Thanks for your input Robert!
One great thing about this is that we have this wonderful scripting language called Ruby. Ruby is excellent for writing scripts to automate things, as it turns out. I'd suggest creating yourself a set of rake tasks that dumps your data out into Yaml fixture files. Then you can create tests (or specs) to run though all that data. Granted it will be very slow, but for a one-time, or not-very-often run, it might be reasonable. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
