After googling "rails save! fails" and other variations, finally stumbled across this. I've been doing data migration and massage and couldn't figure out why my calls to save, save!, update_attribute and the like wouldn't get reflected in the database. Thanks again!

I hit the same problem as you this week - object.some_text_attrib[x] = 'Y' does not register as a change to the attrib and does not get saved. Frankly I think this is a bug in partial updates - the atrrib has been updated legitimately but ActiveRecord doesn't notice. The result was that every time my app allocated a new VLAN on a router for a new customer, the last customer's VLAN got blatted. Nice. steve I totally agree that this should not be on by default.
