What I tried is as my first post. Now just as a test a I did like

State.destroy_all
State.create(:id => 1,:name => "Alabama", :abbr => 'AL',:fips => '01',
:country_id => 1)

But after this step whenever I do rake db:seed_fu

I dont get what I expected for the id fields. I expect id to be
generated like
1,2,3....

Why I need the id to be predefined means suppose at a later stage
if already that id may e saved to a number of tables as foreign key. But
suppose if execute rake db:seed_fu then if the id changed to 5,6,7
instead of 1,2,3
the total solution may be a big fail
So when I checked the way which I mentioned in my first post
accidently I noticed this. Then post a message to a get a clarification
since I dont know where the fault is

I think one more thing to ensure the ids are the values that I
expected is, after creation call a function like

@country.update_id_to(1) .....

Thanks
Tom
