+  # Transactional fixtures accelerate your tests by wrapping each test method

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

+  # Every Active Record database supports transactions except MyISAM tables
+  # in MySQL.  Turn off transactional fixtures in this case; however, if you
+  # don't care one way or the other, switching from MyISAM to InnoDB tables
+  # is recommended.
+  #
+  # The only drawback to using transactional fixtures is when you actually 
+  # need to test transactions.  Since your test is bracketed by a transaction,
+  # any transactions started in your code will be automatically rolled back.

+  # instantiated fixtures translates to a database query per test method),
+  # then set this back to true.
