Is there a clean way to update a record only if it is different than the proposed changes?
For example, I have a person in the table 'person' whose name is 'Pete'. To update his name: desired_id = 5 db(db.person.id == desired_id).update(name='Pete') Update is executed, even though his name did not change. What's the cleanest way to not do the update if the record's fields have not changed?
