I'm already in a class method at that point, so .class isn't needed. It 
made sense to me that self.connection.execute should have worked, but it 
didn't.

I didn't investigate further as so far it looks like a regular 
.save(false) is going to meet my needs. I was originally doing a 
straight update of some lock control fields without invoking a save of 
any other attributes, validation, or changes to lock_version (because 
the latter would cause logic problems if the field existed).

It's apparent now no other attributes will have been modified at the 
point of my query, a save(false) will avoid validation, and lock_version 
will never exist in my apps, and it really shouldn't exist if the model 
is using my pessimistic system anyway. So, I just added some callbacks 
where someone can handle lock_version or anything else before/after my 
lock/unlock steps.
