how do you use rspec to test database relationships in rails?

I don't know, but I'm finding out. 

Rspec and pair programming

Friday I:

- pairprogrammed for real for the first time. Ping-pong method == fun

- forgot my root password, (which I've used several times daily for the last month)

- remembered my password

- installed Rspec

- used Rspec

- was amazed at how useful Rspec is

- got quizzed on my (very small) knowledge of SQL and databases

I need to do a lot more writing tests before I can do it quickly and easily but my long-ago JUnit experience actually helped me catch on reasonably quickly... although I may have seemed like a dumbass a few times when I was trying to figure out what should be tested next.

Saturday morning I was one of the judges for the IIT Ethics Bowl contest. It was entertaining and slightly informative. Met a few cool people. I might help edit cases next year. IIT-local competition is much less... controversial and regulated than national competition. Which is not unexpected.
