Update attribute without validations or any save hooks?

Rails
1

If I wanted to update an attribute with calling any validation or any of
the before_save and after_save hooks, how would I go about doing this?

Supposed the update_attribute method calls the before and after save
methods.

Thanks for your help.

I am not sure about skipping before and after save methods, but you can
skip validation by passing true to the save method

@foo.save(true) #skips validations
