What values? (fixtures, results generated by your code...?) What problems? (errors, nothing stored...?)

Could you guys take 5 mins thinking before asking questions?

assuming you talk about fixtures:

Store them in folder spec/fixtures

load them with

rake spec:db:fixtures:load

Here's a guess: are you expecting changes made by your tests to
persist? This doesn't happen: changes to the test database are rolled
back after each test.

if you need preexisting values/objects in the database for specific tests, you should either create them in a setup block, create them with a factory method [see things like Factory Girl or Fixture Replacement], or load them via fixtures. if we had more specifics we could give more specific advice. hope that helps though.
