Question

In my project, i have a situation like when user runs the application.
The system should insert some values in a table which is used allover the application.
(These value should be inserted only once when the project is executed at first time)

I am trying to find out if there is any initialization function like Constructors in Rails.
I tried to use the config/application.rb, but i am not sure its the right way to do this.

Please suggest.

Thanks

If you looking for inserting some default dictionary data like month names etc you should look into seed.rb file or even better consider using seed_fu gem (https://github.com/mbleigh/seed-fu)
