Rails - Apr 2005 - update without find

Can I update an object without "finding" it?
I mean I think that

     @outing = Outing.find(@params[:id])
     if @outing.update_attributes(@params[:outing])
	...

will select the Outing object from the db and then update it. But 
suppose I want to update the object without selecting it (and knowing 
that all the properties of my object are in "@params[:outing]"). Could
I
do it?
