Create seed file from data already in the database

Question

I'm using Rails 3.0.3 and have data for my "categories" table already in the database, but want to create a seed file from it. Is there any rake task that will generate the seeds.rb format for me from this table?

Answer 1

There is a gem called seed_dump, which will do exactly what you want:
