Ruby on Rails

Ah, yes, that's the problem. I assumed that all the generated
fixtures would be empty but I see now that Rails created some test
data. And this data was from when I originally generated my models
(since changed).

And I see now that, according to my Rails Unit Testing Guide: "Rails
by default automatically loads all fixtures from the test/fixtures
folder for your unit and functional test"

So I see it was trying to populate the db with the old table.
