Question

Right now I am using Rails AR methods to update a bunch of attributes in a table.

RaceWeek.current_week.each { |r| r.update_attributes(:games_won => 0, :games_lost => 0) }

I’d prefer to do this more efficiently in a single transaction. How can this be done?

Answer 1

Use update_all:

<model/association>.update_all("games_won = 0, games_lost = 0" )

Ps. Use some form of the above, because I do not know what the relation of RaceWeek to current_week is.
