This is for Rails 3.1.1 I have a field called last_seen in a model. This field will be updated when the something about the record is seen in the real world (don''t worry about this part) So I go x.update_attribute(:last_seen, Time.now) and the following happens is UPDATE "blah" SET "last_seen" = ''2012-10-23 08:57:46.179288'', "updated_at"

I''ve got a table of events, and each event has a boolean attribute is_ten_event. On each row of the table is a chekbox to edit the value of is_ten_event, so that multiple rows can be edited with one submit.

My server is running Rails 2.3.4...am I not doing this correctly or is something borked? >> c=Contact.last => #<Contact id: 24, name: "Larry", email: "larry-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org", phone: 2147483647, account_id: 8, created_at: "2009-11-27 18:16:25", updated_at: "2009-11-27 18:40:08", hide_name: false, hide_phone: false,

The method is here: https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/activerecord/lib/active_record/persistence.rb#L288. The method takes the in-memory attribute value and increments it by the specified amount. A safer approach (from an isolation standpoint) would be to let the database determine the value. Instead of telling the database what value to persist in the database, the SQL can written

Hi, Why does ActiveRecord allow perception of success when updating an ID, however it doesn''t really work(i.e. no change in database)? Here''s an example. The update of "id" versus update of a non-existent attribute. ?> ai = AccountItem.find(:first) => #<AccountItem id: 1, account_id: 1, date: "2009-01-11", amount:

When I update an ActiveRecord, i would like to "touch" one of the related objects, that the updated record belongs_to, in order to update the timestamps on the parent record, although i don''t want to change any of the data in the parent.

Is there a built-in way to determine if a model object has just been created (ie. this object was the one that was originally persisted)? I can''t see it anywhere in the AR code, but thought I''d check. I want something like: p = Person.create p.original_instance? # true Is this built-in or should I just patch AR? -Jonathan.

Hello, I am trying to deal with a database table that contains a date in the form of the number of seconds since epoch. Data is inserted in this format by an existing script that I can''t change, so a schema change isn''t realistic. I would like to allow humans to view and edit this data in the form of an actual human-readable date. I figured a facade column would be the

Hi! I have updated my app to rails 2.3. I have form that has few nested models and I am happy that I can just write accepts_nested_attributes_for :tasks, :allow_destroy => true, but update_attributes! does not update my nested model. I have tried update_attributes, and it works. Any ideas? Few lines from log: update_attributes: SQL (0.1ms) BEGIN Education Update (0.3ms) UPDATE

Hi, it would be nice to have the touch option in has_many associations also. I have a scenario like this: An user has some credit (money) and some advertises. Each advertise can be enabled or disabled depending on some rules. One of the rules is that the user should have money. Each time the money of the user change, the advertises are touched, enabled/disabled and then cached, as they are much

At present, I use an update like this to set the user''s last login time: authenticated_user.update_attribute(:last_login, Time.now) However, this calls the following, updating all fields: UPDATE users SET `last_login` = ''2006-05-02 13:27:41'', `hashed_password` = ....
