    #                 !! Caution - please read carefully !!
    #
    #   This approach to connection sharing is known to be susceptible
    #   to race conditions. Anecdotally, we've managed to avoid this
    #   being a problem with Oracle because of the use of the confuration
    #
    #     ActiveRecord::Base.connection.raw_connection.non_blocking = false
    #
    #   which prevents the C extension in the adapter being able to run
    #   non-blocking code (i.e. outside of the control of the global interpretter
    #   lock). On Postgres, we haven't employed an equivalent workaround.
    #
    #   For a more resilient alternative, please use the 'database_cleaner'
    #   gem (see README for details).

    # Capybara starts another rails application in a new thread
    # to test against. For transactional fixtures to work, we need
    # to share the database connection between threads.
