I’ve noticed that ids are in the high range for the test database of my Rails app. I’m wondering why this is the case. In development my ids start at 1.
The reason for this is that each test is wrapped in a transaction, which gets rolled back. Even though the records are deleted, the IDs are reserved and therefore the next one is auto-incremented.
If this bothers you, you can truncate the tables like this:
truncate table_name;.
