   8   # test database remains unchanged so your fixtures don't have to be reloaded
   9   # between every test method.  Fewer database queries means faster tests.

  14   # Every Active Record database supports transactions except MyISAM tables
  15   # in MySQL.  Turn off transactional fixtures in this case; however, if you
  16   # don't care one way or the other, switching from MyISAM to InnoDB tables
  17   # is recommended.

  19   # The only drawback to using transactional fixtures is when you actually
  20   # need to test transactions.  Since your test is bracketed by a transaction,
  21   # any transactions started in your code will be automatically rolled back.

  27   # instantiated fixtures translates to a database query per test method),
