That's also a good pattern for deployment scripts e.g. using capistrano
to copy database.production|staging|alpha.yml -> database.yml<br>
<br>
I avoid having a database.yml that has dev/test/other envs mixed with
production. Has saved me many times when forgetting to specify an
environment. YMMV.<br>

that's useful, thanks! Have decided to go with an unchecked-in

So, i set this up in database.yml, and create a ci.rb file in
config/environments that contains only a "require
File.dirname(__FILE__)+ '/test.rb'" to load in the regular test
environment. However, as the code in the required file isn't evaled in
the same context as where the 'require' happens - it fails with
"undefined local variable or method `config' for main:Object" on the
line "config.cache_classes = true", the first line in the required
'test.rb'.<br>
