Integration tests calls db:test:prepare which calls db:test:clone_structure which calls db:structure:dump and db:test:purge

You can write your own task

namespace :your_namespace do
  Rake::TestTask.new(:integration => "db:migrate(if you want") do |t|
    t.libs << "test"
    t.pattern = 'test/integration/**/*_test.rb'
    t.verbose = true
  end
end
