ActiveRecord upate() does not do validation

As seen here: CActiveRecord | API Documentation for Yii 1.1 | API Documentation for Yii 1.1 | Yii PHP Framework

Note, validation is not performed in this method. You may call validate to perform the validation.

This is like a massive hole with regard to data integrity. Would a patch be accepted, or could it break too much?

Probably not possible to change without changing the update() function signature.

Yes, that would break behavior that is relied on.

Hello, if I may jump in: you need to call save(). Internally save() eventually calls update().

update method is rather dedicated to CDbCommand queries: it is designed and expected to not validate.

Well, in Yii 2 update() does validate. There’s a difference there.
