Anyone have any tips for handling postgres constraints when using
fixtures to load the database, other than to sort out the proper
insertion orders or leaving the constraints out? I’d prefer not to do
the former since I’d rather use my app to generate my fixture data
(using a dump_fixtures task) and I’d prefer not to do the latter
because leaving out constraints till the end makes it easy (for me) to
forget one or two. The use case here is that I’m trying to synch my
entire app (including database schema and data) between two of my
development machines (laptop and desktop) using only subversion and
rake. Migrations aren’t really the answer because this isn’t about
promotion, just rapid synching from a single script I can run on
either machine.

true but working through the migrations got me to figure out the
drop/add order and to use raw sql code to add to add the foreign key
constraints back in so I am expecting that will give me a leg up on
setting up testing (I’m hoping it will). Evidently migrations handles
creating all of the primary key constraints for me so I stopped trying
to do that myself.

by the way, I don’t see a ‘dump fixtures’ option in ‘rake --tasks’ - is
that a gem or a plugin?

The dump fixtures is just some simple code I found, but pretty useful.

any clue on where the table_names definition would logically go since
that is erb and it doesn’t seem logical to go into dump_fixtures.rake

Yes I had the same question - it does go in the dump_fixtures.rake, I
put it near the top with the other assignments.
