Updating a model with validations Rails 3.2

How do I update a record in rails by making it go through all the necessary validations? As far as i know

record.update_attributes(update_hash)

will skip all the validations. How do i update my record without skipping the validations? I'm using Rails 3.2 by the way.

In Rails 3.2, the method update_attributes run all model validations, only the singular form update_attribute skip validations. Fortunately, in Rails 4 they deprecated the later, in favour of update_column (see commit).

update_attributes itself checks for validations. It returns false if unable to save (due to validation errors or an erroneous query).

Internally update_attributes actually calls save method itself which checks for validations before saving to the database.
