Earlier I forgot to add updated_at and created_at columns for my HABTM relationship so I created a migration to add them. In the migration I also want to go back and set the value of the created_at and updated_at columns for the previous rows. What is the best way to do that? Initially I thought I was being smart and decided to put an UPDATE SQL query in a find_by_sql statement and
