Snow Leopard, Rails 2.3.4, psql 8.3 gem 1.3.4

Help would be appreciated

Looks like you have a typo in your fixtures file. Is the column really called "postion", or did you mean "position"?

BTW, fixtures are not good for most testing. Try Machinist or something similar instead.

How embarrassing! Although 'postions' are not bad really. Thanks for the tip on Machinist.
