What values? (fixtures, results generated by your code...?)
What problems? (errors, nothing stored...?)

Could you guys take 5 mins thinking before asking questions?

assuming you talk about fixtures:

Store them in folder spec/fixtures

load them with

rake spec:db:fixtures:load

Here''s a guess: are you expecting changes made by your tests to  
persist? This doesn''t happen: changes to the test database are rolled  
back after each test.

if you need preexisting values/objects in the database for specific tests,
you should either create them in a setup block, create them with a factory
method [see things like Factory Girl or Fixture Replacement], or load them
via fixtures. if we had more specifics we could give more specific advice.
hope that helps though.
