What is the Best Way to Update Existing Column Values in Rails?

"Updating column values in Rails sounds simple, but when you’re working with large datasets or production environments, choosing the right approach is essential for maintaining performance and data integrity.
In this video, I’ll walk you through the best methods for updating column values in a Rails application. We’ll cover:
Migrations: Ideal for schema-level changes and one-time updates across many records.
Active Jobs: Perfect for handling large-scale or periodic updates in production without blocking the application.
Rails Console: Great for quick, one-off fixes, but risky for large updates in production.
Whether you’re working on a small project or managing a large-scale production app, understanding these options will help you choose the safest, most efficient method for your needs.

Mr Ravi.. Thank you...

I have a question. what would happen if you update all these records from the rails console?

[@APPSIMPACTAcademy]

@@ricardomordaunt1101 it's just not recommended but doable. The only concern is that we can not track schema changes with rails console. And for production console their might be some chances of timeout if the database is too large. That may lead to inconsistent state. On recommended for test and dev environment
