Rails - Sep 2011 - sql.update

can someone suggest better way to write following code

    sql = ActiveRecord::Base.connection();
    sql.execute "SET autocommit=0";
    sql.begin_db_transaction
    id, value     sql.update "UPDATE `chsdesk3`.`members` SET mem_id=id
";
    sql.commit_db_transaction
    value;
