Rails - Nov 2005 - not updating non-changed fields

Hey all,

this is kind of a weird question, but is there any way to tell ActiveRecord
to not update a field that hasn''t been changed? When I see my executed
UPDATE sql, I see it trying to update every single field, regardless of
whether its been changed or not. Is there any way to have ActiveRecord
update ONLY the changed fields?

Thanks guys,

Jin

Never mind. Figured it out. Just need to do a find_by_sql before and take
what I want before the save call.
