I''m currently planning a social app in Rails that relies on being able to see how far you are from everyone else. It''s my intention to store rough geo-coordinates as part of the sign up process.

This is a stupid question I know, but it is driving me crazy - I am missing something simple and basic here. I am trying to update missing zip codes on a data table. I am doing something incorrectly as the data in the Source table is not being updated, only the value in the array is changed. How do I get this to update the actual DB record instead? def add_missing_zips #find all records in
