The following statements would fire the same, but the first statement would be 
cleaner to read, and more efficient as it would not cause a full query of the 
table by causing the database to run a "not equal to" search bypassing your 
indexes. ( 'TR.lesson_status' = "Completed") vs. ('DB.lesson_status' != 
"Completed" AND 'lesson_status' = "Completed")

So what's wrong with 

 

AND ( 'lesson_status' =  "Completed" ) AND ( 'DB.lesson_status' !=  "Completed" 
)

 

When do you expect that to fire when you don't want it to??

Because an API we have can write to this record multiple times...but we only 
want the workflow to go off the first time lesson_status is changed.

** 
How is using 'TR.lesson_status' better than just 'lesson_status'?

Here is a piece of workflow that I have in my system today that uses TR and it 
should.

( 'RecordUploadStatus' = "Uploaded") AND ( 'Emp_EntryID' !=  $NULL$ ) AND ( 
'ClassNameID' !=  $NULL$ ) AND ( 'TR.lesson_status' =  "Completed" ) AND ( 
'DB.lesson_status' !=  "Completed" )
