Thomas Fox resolved TORQUE-281.
-------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix
      Assignee: Thomas Fox

A database is in principle a device where many users can write to. 
This means a row in the database can be written by a concurrent connection at 
any time.
There are two ways known to me to be sure that all columns of a row are in the 
desired state
a) write all rows
b) put a write lock on the row while reading and then write only the changed 
columns

Torque has always chosen the method a). It may be a bit slower but it is 
simple. b) has the problem that a lock is put on a row, which can cause 
problems like when to lock a row, dealing with unreleased locks, deadlocks etc.

                
> Only issue SQL update with columns whose value is changed in dbObject, since 
> it was loaded from db

> This means dbObject needs to have a way to see oldValue and newValue. If so 
> also provide some hooks in the code before update/after update/before 
> insert/after insert/before delete and after delete, so one can plugin an 
> auditing code to log the oldValue to newValue change
