Rails - Feb 2006 - create_without_callbacks

Hi all,

I don''t think I''m being stupid here, but would be glad of
correction.
I''m trying to future-proof early migrations, so rather than use 
AR::Base.create, I want to use AR::Callbacks.create_without_callbacks. 
It looks like I should be able to, from the way it''s aliased in 
activerecord/callbacks.rb.  When I try to, though, I get an "undefined 
method `create_without_callbacks'' for Fragment:Class" error.  Is
there
some good reason for this I''ve missed?  Is there a different way of 
getting AR instances saved in migrations without getting lifecycle 
callbacks called?

Thanks,

This appears to be a bug in ActiveRecord.  One fix is to change the
"private" above the definition of create_or_update in base.rb to
"protected".
