title: Should my rspec tests making db connections?
body: <p>I find it bad practise that my rspec tests are making db calls.</p>
  
  <p>(I have some tests that test for page titles on views, and my application_controller hits the db to fetch objects used in the layout)</p>
  
  <p>How can I mock them out? Or is this normal?  Seems a test that hits the db is getting into a integration test...</p>
