How to “update_attributes” without executing “before_save”?

Question

I have a before_save in my Message model defined like this:

   class Message < ActiveRecord::Base
     before_save lambda { foo(         


        

Answer 1

update_all won't trigger callbacks

my_message.update_all(:created_at => ...)
# OR
Message.update_all({:created_at => ...}, {:id => my_message.id})
