in reply to MongoDB replacing an array

I don't use MongoDB so bear with me. Has this sort of update worked before? I ask because it looks like you update timestamps with a DateTime object, not an array, as shown in the MongoDB module's DataTypes documentation section on Dates.

    Timestamp is name of an array in a JSON inside a MongoDB database. I want to replace that entire array with a new one. My backup plan is to empty the array in MongoDB and then insert a new one.

      And you're sure that @new is not empty at the point of the insert? Have you tried printing out its contents to be sure?
