Hi Craig. Wouldn't "rake db:fixtures:load FIXTURES=rights" give you the same
result (with less typing)?

Best. Mike

Sorry gentlemen. I should be more precise in asking my questions. This is very useful information. However, what I meant to ask is how do I populate a class instance from the fixture data in Rails console without going to the database. Is there a more direct way of doing that? Thanks. Bharat
