Using update_columns in Rails 3?

Question

Is there a shorter way for this in Rails 3? ``` user.update_column(:attribute1, value1) user.update_column(:attribute2, value2) user.update_column(:attribute3, value3) user.update_column(:attribute4, value4) ``` I tried `update_columns` but it's only available in Rails 4. Thanks for any help.

Accepted Answer

Here's a workaround for Rails 3.x:

```
User.where(id: user.id).update_all(attribute1: value1, attribute2: value2, ...)
```
