Fewer database queries means faster tests. # # Read Mike Clark's excellent walkthrough at # http://clarkware.com/cgi/blosxom/2005/10/24#Rails10FastTesting # # Every Active Record database supports transactions except MyISAM tables # in MySQL. Turn off transactional fixtures in this case; however, if you # don't care one way or the other, switching from MyISAM to InnoDB tables # is recommended. # # The only drawback to using transactional fixtures is when you actually # need to test transactions.
