Just a note that you should be careful using this method to increment a value. It can cause a race condition.
A safer method is to use increment_counter since it updates the value directly in the database, not using the current attribute value on the instance CurrentUser.increment_counter(:points_accumulated, params[:id]) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
