I have a migration: class CreateCodeRequests < ActiveRecord::Migration def self.up create_table :code_requests do |t| t.string :key_number t.string :version t.datetime :maint_end_date t.string :nls_name t.string :company_name t.string :email_address t.boolean :temp t.integer :temp_week_to_start t.integer :temp_num_weeks t.timestamps end end def self.down drop_table :code_requests end end and two fixtures in a .yml file: one: id: 1 key_number: 0200699 version: 12.2 maint_end_date: 2009-05-31 12:00:0 nls_name: automod company_name: U of Anywyere email_address: Joe.Smith-wDbxzuHGoDHV1CgomF1qdQ@public.gmane.org temp: false temp_week_to_start: temp_num_weeks: two: id: 2 key_number: 0200100 version: 12.2 maint_end_date: 2009-03-27 12:00:00 nls_name: company_name: Company1 email_address: sue_jones-tIvx/6hRugBWk0Htik3J/w@public.gmane.org temp: false temp_week_to_start: temp_num_weeks: When I do the migration and load the fixtures I get data in the key_number field of 0200699 for the first one, but 65600 for the 2nd one, unless I put quotes around "0200100". What could be the reason for this? TIA!

Is it the fact that 0200699 has 9 in it - a non-base 8 digit?
