Rails3 RSpec is wiping wrong database?

I am trying to get my hands on Rspec2 with Rails3 (never used rspec before). I have rspec-rails 2.0.0.beta20. After introducing some basic tests into spec/models and running

rspec spec/models/user_spec.rb

everthing is fine. However if I just run 

rake spec

My development database is beeing wiped out. Even if I specify the environment explicitly 

RAILS_ENV=test rake spec

My development database is beeing wiped to zero.

What I am doing wrong here? It feels like I am missing the concept for now. Anyone got any tips or could point me to some basic tutorial?

Stupid case. While moving the app from Rails2 to Rails3 I messed up database.yml, and my test db was set to devel. :)

Set the following sentence at the top of your spec_helper.rb file

ENV["RAILS_ENV"] ||= 'test'

This will ensure you use the right environment.
