similar to: Stop updated_at from auto updating?

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"

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

Using centos 6 with puppet-2.6.17 with thin_storeconfigs with mysql and nagios exported resources. Every time an agent connects to the master, the updated_at column in the hosts table is updated. However, the updated_at column in the other tables is not updated even when I alter a nagios resource attribute like retry_check_interval. What are the conditions by which the updated_at column is

Hi, Am I the only one (i.e. something I do is wrong), or does the touch- method always update updated_at, even though giving it a column to use INSTEAD is meant to update just that column??? Thanks, Michael

Hello, Is it possible to trigger an action in a controller when a table from database changes? I thought about using an utility like cron (railscron) to check every, e.g. 2 s, if the table changed, but I am wondering if there is a solution a bit more ''elegant'': to trigger an action exactly when the change is made.
