Save active_record without calling callbacks in rails3 [duplicate]

How can I avoid running ActiveRecord callbacks?

In rails 2 there was a private method on active_records called create_without_callbacks which you could call to save a record into the database without triggering the callbacks associated with that object. This method has disappeared in rails 3, is there any way to achieve the same thing?

Answer 1

You are preventing certain business logic from happening when you'd call create_without_callbacks. Consider removing the callbacks if they are not needed, or use the :if and :unless options to trigger the callback only when needed.
