I’ve got an area of my application that is going to vary from customer  
to customer so I’ve decided to put the view into the DB and render it  
using render :inline. That part is working fine.

My challege is in loading sample views. I’d prefer to do this through  
fixtures as I would with some of the other “seed” data that I’ll be  
using for the site. The problem is that when I do a db:fixtures:load,  
the Erb is being run rather than loaded.

Is there any way to turn off the Erb interpreter so I can get my Erb  
(rhtml) into the DB?

Thanks,
