The number of times I've had to increment a value by one are minimal. Or similar things where you want to update one value based on the other values, and do it in an atomic way.
But if I had to increment specifically, and were using ActiveRecord... I'd use the ActiveRecord increment! method. Which has the proper db-atomicity semantics you want, it does execute `UPDATE x SET n = n+1 WHERE pk = y ...`
