update_attribute on a specific record

[abenego]

Newbie alert! :)

Guys, I am trying to update a record on the console (Heroku)
I have an object called Photo
Photos have a tittle,... how do I address an specific photo via it's
Id if I want to
update the tittle description etc?


Any help will be great.

If you know the ID, then you can do this:

photo = Photo.find 123
photo.title = 'A greater title than before'
photo.save

Yep, or:

Photo.find(123).update_attribute(:title => "New great title")
