First see this: http://www.loudthinking.com/arc/000516.html Now, I think Rails'' fixtures violates this. How? Because defaults aren''t added for columns such as ''created_at'', etc. (which causes an error if the field is ''not null'' and you haven''t specified a created_at value for your fixtures). Seems like when creating fixtures, the standard Rails model creation approach should be used.
