Then there is the real hidden gem of Rails... the Rails console. You can
call an IRB shell from your rails environment that will automatically load
all your data objects from your project automatically. AWESOME!

And then lets not forget rake! I have never seen an environment that allows
you to develop in flat files, test in MySQL/Postgres, then deploy in
Oracle. I have seen promises of it, but never seen it work outside of
Rails.

I find myself manipulating data in a db using the irb console rather
