I'm trying to update a collection of records in my database using ActiveRecord's update_all. Enter script/console.

MyModel.update_all("reserved = 1", :order => 'rand()', :limit => 1000)

ActiveRecord thinks order is a column, says it's unknown and throws an exception. According to the documentation though, my syntax looks sane. This is RoR 2.3.5.

When doing MyModel.update_all("reserved = 1") alone, it works just fine.

Also if I do

MyModel.update_all("reserved = 1", "reserve_type = 2", :order => "rand()", :limit => 1000) => 0

0 rows affected.

I'm simply trying to do: UPDATE MyModel SET reserved=1, reserve_type=2 ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1000
