NodeJS - Sequelize updating issue - mysql

Question

I have a problem with updating method.
I am doing this:
// Char is outside the object where update method is...
Char = db.define('characters', {}, {
tableName: 'characters',
updatedAt: false,
createdAt: false
});
//... part of the whole object
update: function ( columns, callback ) {
Char.update( columns, { where: { id: this.get('char_id') } } )
.complete( function ( err, res ) {
f.log(res, 'd');
});
},
When I define updatedAt to be false, the updates stop working at all and I don't know how to prevent that, except to add a column in my database. It throws me "Query was empty".
So I tried to define updatedAt as 'created_at' - an existing column in my table and then the updates have worked, but not at all. The query updating only 'created_at' with the timestamp, but not my preferred columns.
Example that I receive in the console:
Executing (default): UPDATE characters SET created_at='2015-02-03 21:03:00' WHERE id='1'
It should be:
Executing (default): UPDATE characters SET health = ..., created_at='2015-02-03 21:03:00' WHERE id='1'
I debug whether the columns parameter is valid parameter. Yes, it is - I send an object and receive an object.
Can someone help me. I tried old ways, new ways, read posts, but nothing.
EDIT:
I found where I'm wrong. I should define all fields which I want to update/insert.
Because of my english I didn't understand right the define function in documentation. I thought that when you define the fields you'll recreate your table structure, but now I realize, that that would happen if run sync() method.
