is it possible to query database during runtime

I have an rsel testcase where I'm trying to get a database
value at runtime.  Is this possible?

For example:
I have a Signup table that is empty when the test starts.

type 'signup_name', 'some_user'
type 'signup_email', 'some_usergmail.com'
click_and_wait 'signup'  #This adds the new user to the
Signup table.

echo Signup.find_by_email('some_usergmail.com')  
#Running selenium shows that no values.

It looks like selenium is evaluating the value prior to the
test being executed.
