One way is to avoid rake entirely - you could run the specs with `spec spec` or even just use autotest[1].

If you want to just empty the data from the tables you need database_cleaner[2].

If you want the database rebuilt as necessary when migrations change, you could use my database_resetter[3], plug plug :D

Let me know if you're trying to do something other than one of these.  (It's late, I have a habit of talking nonsense when I'm tired...)
