I have a problem, 
I want to update my database's "active" column.
my schema = 

```
 tablename(name:string , id:int , active:0 ,created_at)

```

I want to update active attribute in my rails app after a certain period of time let say 2 days from the created\_at time

I have tried few stuff like this from controller but none of this worked for me..
can anyone help ?

```
def check_aim
  @aim = Aim.find(1)

  aimdays = @aim.day
  futuredate = @aim.created_at+aimdays.days
  if(Time.now == futuredate)
    @aim.active = false # i have tried @aim.update_attribute(:active,1) also didn't word either
    @aim.save
  end
  if @aim.save
    saved
  else
    not saved  
  end
end
helper_method :check_aim

```

view class

```
=debug check_aim

```

this returns

```
saved

```

but when i see my database nothing has changed ... plz help
