I have the following two tables books and records

fields for books table: id, name
fields for records table:id, name, status

I would like to insert value 'read' to status field in records table
when name matches name in books table. Tried the following but no luck.
I would appreciae if someone can lead me to the right direction.

def update_status
  @books=Book.find(:all)

  for book in @books
  Record.update_attributes
    (:status=>'read',:conditions['records.name=?',books.name])
  end

end
