You can write code in db/seeds.rb to read the data and write to the database (using your ActiveRecord models). Then run rake db:seed to run seeds.rb and seed the database from your text file. This will default to the development db. To seed the production db do rake RAILS_ENV=production db:seed Colin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
